Advent Walk in Traunstein: With a peaceful heart through the city
During Advent, a faith experience unfolds on the way through Traunstein's city center: Christmas impulses invite reflection, prayer, and inner peace. As a spiritual community, we follow stations created by groups from the Parish of St. Oswald – a path of hope, mindfulness, and anticipation for Christmas.
Sensory impressions on a city path of silence
Between the war memorial at Hohen Kreuz, Ettendorfer Kircherl, Weinleite, the viaduct, and the Traunweg, a spiritual atmosphere unfolds. Candlelight, short texts, and prayer impulses deepen the religious experience. The walk lasts about an hour and can be started individually – alone, with family, or with friends.
Liturgical roots and lived tradition
The impulses draw from Advent liturgy, prayer, and the lived spirituality of the Traunstein city church. The parish church of St. Oswald has shaped local faith for centuries; its history, connected with Pope Benedict XVI, strengthens awareness of theology, liturgy, and church tradition in the city.
Practical: Arrival, parking, and accessibility aspects
The walk takes place on publicly accessible paths in the city center. Free and paid parking options are available, including at the festival square (walking distance to the old town) and in municipal areas; regulations for electric license plates apply throughout Bavaria. Public transport regularly connects the city and surrounding areas.
Experience community – at your own pace
Spiritual community arises in walking: short Bible verses, Advent meditations, and silent prayers provide support. Those who wish can combine the walk with a visit to St. Oswald or a personal prayer of thanks. Participation is possible without registration.
