Pilgrimage hike from Egerkingen to Mariastein

Slowing down, places of power, and digital detox—three words that have become increasingly important in recent years. The need for peace and relaxation has grown, and more and more people are embarking on pilgrimages. In the Aargau Solothurn region, Mariastein Abbey is a popular place of pilgrimage and thus the destination of many pilgrimages. Father Ludwig explains what pilgrimage means and shows that anyone can go on a pilgrimage.
