Over the mountains

Praying with your feet

The pilgrimage season begins after Easter, and the most famous and perhaps toughest pilgrimage leads over 52 kilometers and four mountains on Three-Day Friday. But there are also other routes for pilgrims - albeit no longer barefoot.

The second Friday after Easter is named after the three nails with which Jesus was nailed to the cross. There is a great tradition of foot pilgrimages in Carinthia on Three Nails Friday, the most famous of which is the Vierbergelauf.
