Way of St James
Traditional pilgrimage route through the valley

The St. Adolari pilgrimage church at the start of Pillersee, the Way of the Cross that continues from Adolari to the village centre of St. Ulrich am Pillersee and the Jakobskreuz at the summit of Buchensteinwand, which is visible far and wide, are just some of the special features on this spiritual hike.

Way of Reflection
Short pilgrimage route in St. Jakob in Haus
On a section of the Way of St James a Way of Reflection has been created in the small resort of St. Jakob in Haus. The short pilgrimage route on the sunny side of the resort entices you to relax, embark on inner reflection and stock up on energy. Departing from the village fountain of the St. James's church, over a route of around two kilometres, symbols of the patron saint like shells, sticks and hats can be found on the edge of the trail to entice you into lingering and reflecting. Along the trail you will keep on finding symbols and marks of the pilgrims that have been lovingly planted and maintained.
