SPIRITUAL HIKING ON THE DONAUSTEIG:

GOTTSDORF, the starting point of the Sun path, lies on the Way of St. James. Light leads us out of darkness.
Light experiences occur within the body: love, joy, cheerfulness, zest for life, a friendly look, a comforting word ("Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" Ps 119:105 as it already says in the Bible), enjoyment and trust make it bright in the soul of the human being. And outside my body: natural and artificial light sources, with which orientation, overview and outlook become possible.
Inner and outer light are vital for humans. 

On the "Sun path" I follow the light and sensitize myself to the different nuances of the light experiences.

I observe:

First sun rays on my face in the morning. How it slowly gets brighter – light and shadow sides. Midday sun in the landscape. Evening sun, sunset, moon and stars. "Searching for light" in the dark – perceiving how darkness changes and orientation becomes possible. Light impressions of different seasons and weather conditions. My limits – too much light dazzles. What do these experiences trigger in me? What is it like "when a light goes on for me"? Seeing/comprehending something in a new light
