7 routes. 7 stamps. Your pilgrimage through the Mühlviertel

Every path tells its own story.

Some lead to special places.
And some take you a little closer to yourself.

On each of the 7 pilgrimage routes in the Mühlviertel, a special stamp house is waiting to be discovered by you.

Set off on your journey, collect your stamps and take a little piece of the Mühlviertel home with you as a reward.

Which stamp will be your first?

The stamp houses are situated directly along the respective pilgrimage routes. Their exact locations are described on this page and can also be found via the Mühlviertel app.
