Path of Silence

Recharge your energy while walking on the "Path of Silence" from the town hall square, past the Saalfelden churches up to the hermitage, one of the last inhabited hermitages in Europe.

Along the entire path, you will encounter historic stone buildings (churches, small monuments) and natural places. Built solidly, the stone withstands time. For many, stone is not just a building material but contains much healing power. The healing power of stones is recognized in many cultures and is an essential part of medicine, ritual, and daily life. Stone is omnipresent in our region. Our landscape is shaped by it. Take your time and feel the power of the stones.

Along this path, consciously engage with your thoughts. Let the power of the landscape and surroundings affect you. Bring body, mind, and soul into harmony.

The Stone
For some, a stone seems just a mute, lifeless thing,
A stone lies around, delights or makes people stumble,
A stone can feel rough, smooth, pointed, or round.
A stone, where does it come from, what could it have once been?
A stone conveys a feeling of strength, permanence, and infinity.
A stone is not only mute and lifeless,
A stone in your hand becomes a warm, cuddly form whose strength and permanence may affect you.
A stone can activate your energies,
A stone can give you an idea of the permanence of its change and its eternity.
