Pilgrimage between cultures

The cultural site Wintringer Chapel is particularly well suited as a starting point for a pilgrimage hike on a section of the European paths of the pilgrims of St. James along the Upper Saar across the border into neighboring Lorraine.

Pilgrimages to and from the Wintringer farm can be arranged individually as smaller and larger sections, there and back, or as a circular route.

Healthy and fresh food for pilgrims is available in the farm store. The Country inn opposite the chapel also invites you to linger. Delicious pilgrim meals are served here and overnight stays are also possible. You can get a pilgrim's stamp in the farm store and Country inn.

Parking is available on site or above the farm from the direction of Saarbrücken at the "Wolfsbuche". There you will also find a large information board with a map. There is a bus stop directly at the farm and a bus connection to the Saarbahn in Kleinblittersdorf.

At the Wintringer Chapel Cultural site, you should allow yourself a little time to pause and take in the medieval building and contemporary art.

It cannot be proven, but nevertheless I believe in it: In some places of the earth the own arrival or departure receives in a mysterious way a special intensity by the sensations of all those, who arrived here in former times or left again. Whoever has a soul that is light enough feels a gentle resistance in the air.
