Austria?

[Kitsambler]

I'm starting to plan for 2016 and it looks like Austria. Anyone with recommendations, referrals, or resources?

Austria is very much on my to do list - but not next year. I'll look forward to seeing what you learn!

No personal experience but some resources (they are in German but you might give an online translator a try):

www.viasacra.at
www.pilgerwege.at (click on pilgerwege on the left menu)
www.pilgern.at (it includes a forum)

P.S.: I guess you already know www.salzburgerland.com/en/spiritual/pilgrimage-routes.html with info in English about pilgrim routes in Salzburgerland.

...some resources ...

Thanks! All those are new to me. I speak enough German that I don't have to depend heavily on the Google Translator.

If you are walking the Jakobsweg in Austria do take a rest day in Graz. It's a lovely little city which is on the way.

Actually my plans for Austria this year were cancelled (in favor of a group retreat at Iona). But I was able to do a little research early on; the "yellow book" guidebook in German from Conrad-Stein covers all of Austria, starting where the Jakobsweg route crosses the Danube coming from Bratislava. Makes for quite a fat little book. June will be lovely walking and you will meet a few other walkers but the main walking months are later in the summer. Let us know how your trip goes, please!

Thanks for your reply. I was reading your blog and is super helpful and inspiring.
I will try to update, but i cant promise too much, because i plan to travel light, giving the fact that i will be doing the Camino for almost 4 months and i plan to sleep "outside" almost all the time.
