Advent Walk Traunstein: Pause, walk, believe
In the stillness of Advent, the parish of St. Oswald invites you to a self-guided city stroll. Along notable locations in the Traunstein city center, a faith experience unfolds with Christmas impulses that strengthen reflection, prayer, and spiritual community.
Sensory impressions along the way
Under a winter sky, the walk opens eyes and heart: candle motifs, short texts, and prayer suggestions provide peace. At the war graves memorial, the city falls silent; at the Ettendorfer Kircherl, the view expands; along the Weinleite and at the viaduct, the sound of the Traun carries thoughts. A path that allows the soul to breathe.
Tradition and theology in Advent
Advent means expectation and promise. In the liturgical tradition, biblical words, intercessions, and silent prayer prepare for Christmas. The impulse stations build on this: short scripture passages, signs of hope, moments of spirituality that enable a religious experience in the midst of daily life.
Experience community - walk individually
The walk can be done independently at any time of day. Families, singles, youths, and seniors will find their rhythm. Duration is approximately one hour. Start and endpoint are in the center of Traunstein; the route connects the Hohes Kreuz memorial, Ettendorfer Kircherl, Weinleite, viaduct, and the Traun path.
Practical information for your visit
Public transport and parking options lead to the old town in a few minutes. Sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing support the experience, as some sections may have inclines and possibly slippery paths. The walk takes place mostly outdoors; respect, mindful walking, and short prayer pauses shape the spiritual atmosphere.
Place of connection: St. Oswald
The city parish church of St. Oswald has shaped faith life in Traunstein for centuries. Its history and the tradition of the city church provide a reliable framework of liturgy, pastoral care, and lived community for the Advent Walk.
