Meditative pilgrimage on the Sternenweg in the autumnal southern Palatinate region

On October 14 and 15, the Adult Education Center of the Saarbrücken Regional Association invites you to guided, meditative pilgrimage walks on sections of the European Way of St. James pilgrims - the “Starry Path” - in the Palatinate Forest UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The Palatinate Forest, together with its French partner, the Northern Vosges Nature Park, has formed Germany’s only cross-border biosphere reserve since 1998. The two pilgrimage walks follow the footsteps of the St. James pilgrims on two selected routes through autumnal vineyards and chestnut forests, along medieval castles and village churches in the southern Palatinate.

Peter Michael Lupp, cultural officer of the regional association and head of the European model project “Starry Path/Chemin des étoiles”, will accompany the group to special sites in this ancient cultural landscape. Along the way, he will read texts that explore the intellectual roots and spiritual dimension of this ancient European cultural route. The question of man’s basic need for a life in the right measure - the Good Life - will also be explored. The great impressionist Max Slevogt and his references to the Palatinate will also be a topic.
