Pilgrimage hike Wintringer farm - Auersmacher
Meditative pilgrimages on the Way of the Stars to the four seasons in the Bliesgau biosphere reserve
The meditative pilgrimages on a section of the European paths of the pilgrims of St. James in the Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve are each integrated into the seasons. They begin at the cultural site Wintringer Chapel and, along the way, focus on the art of the good life: What do we really need?
After an introduction, the route follows the "Starry Path/Chemin des étoiles" past a poetic garden towards Auersmacher. The stage destination is the pilgrims' hostel "Altes Bauernhaus". There you can enjoy coffee and homemade cake. After a pause in the village church, the ten-kilometre, moderately difficult hike leads back to the Wintringer farm via the "Sternenfeld". The day ends with a meditation in the chapel, after which there is the opportunity to stop for refreshments in the Country inn at Wintringer Chapel.

Dates brochure 2017The silent breath of the future
Ulrich Grober
Book launch/
At the cultural site Wintringer Chapel, sustainability has already been addressed for several years - supported by topic-specific artistic reflections. The art projects are accompanied by local discussions. Peter Michael Lupp from the Regional Association Saarbrücken traces - in dialogue with the artists, experts and the audience - the urgent questions of how to sustainably shape lifestyles, but also living spaces [biospheres].
On Sunday, October 9, journalist (for ZEIT, among others), author and sustainability expert Ulrich Grober will be our guest. He will present his latest book "The silent breath of the future - The rise of sustainable values in times of crisis", read passages from it and discuss it with the audience.
We want to use the aura of the medieval space to reflect on ancient and at the same time very contemporary values: Serenity, empathy, self-restraint.
Ulrich Grober
Afterwards, there is the opportunity to stop off at the Wintringer farm's Country inn.

Pilgrimage hiking in the Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve
On the "Way of the Stars/Chemin des étoiles" from Wintringer farm to Auersmacher and back.
The meditative pilgrimage hikes on a section of the European Way of St. James pilgrims in the Bliesgau biosphere reserve begin at the Wintringer Chapel Cultural Site on the Wintringer farm. For several years now, the local people have been working on sustainability - supported by theme-specific artistic reflections: What do we really need? After an introduction, we set off on the "Starry Path/Chemin des étoiles". The stage destination is the village church and the pilgrims' hostel "Altes Bauernhaus" in Auersmacher. There you can enjoy coffee and homemade cake and after a pause in the village church, the 10-kilometre, moderately difficult hike leads back to the Wintringer farm. After a final meditation in the chapel, there is the opportunity to stop for refreshments in the Country inn at the Wintringer Chapel. The pilgrimage hikes are dedicated to bees and take place at the end of the bee year.
The organizer advises to take backpack food according to your own needs and, if necessary, also to pay attention to rainwear and good footwear. On November 26, 2016 please also bring a pocket/head lamp and a seat cushion.
