Dear Pilgrims,
Quite apart from being on one of the historical stretches of the Way of St. James as it runs through the South Tyrol, Neustift Abbey, situated at the intersection of the two main routes from North to South and East to West, would have offered board, lodging and medical care to many travellers and pilgrims soon after the founding of its hospital, but above all it would have offered spiritual refreshment. This tradition has continued to this day – albeit only on a few occasions now.
