Seven o'clock - start at our accommodation.
 


Very soon, we saw the town of Rohr im Gebirge.
 


The first part leads us along a main road.
 


After one mile we could leave the road and enjoy the meadows and forests.
 


...
 


The settlement Kalte Kuchl (cold kitchen) appears.
 


Kalte Kuchl is a popular meeting point for bikers. Also the clergy is brimmed over with enthusiasm for some of the vehicles.
 


Passing a small pilgrims museum the way leads us to Ochsensattel.
 


...
 


Wound feet, typical problems at a pilgrimage.
 


From now on we had to walk miles on forest roads.
 


Rest at a chapel near Hochreit.
 


At Obermitterbach we celebrated a mass in three languages (German, Hungarian and Slovakian).
 


Mt. Gippel (left) is appearing.
 


Short before St. Aegyd.
 


Water refill.
 


After St. Aegyd the feet are burning, so some of us decided to go barefoot.
 


At the last ascent to the Gscheid plateau, we passed the pilgrims group of the Katholische Hochschulgemeinde (Catholic Academic Community).
 


Reaching the plateau.
 


Dinner (Chinese rice).
