SPIRITUAL HIKING ON THE DONAUSTEIG:

Celts - mysterious ancestors
The word “Celts” comes from the Greek “keltoi” and means something like “the brave,” “the bold.” They once lived all over Central Europe. From Anatolia to Ireland, they left traces of their culture. They built cities, conducted trade, and minted coins, but there are few written records from Celtic authors. Excavations, as well as the ancient works of Roman and Greek authors, provide insight into Celtic society and their everyday life, which was strongly influenced by nature. Remarkably, Celtic women were equal. The Celts were neither a homogeneous people nor a European primordial community; they were never centrally organized, never had a leader accepted by all sides nor a state. Rather, the Celts were spread across many different tribes and tribal alliances that shared some cultural commonalities. There are many testimonies of their culture along the Donausteig.
Their message for today: Living in the cycle of nature – seasons, times of day, lunar phases, active and quiet times alternate, living from the treasures of nature.

“Deceleration – escaping the hustle and bustle”
On the Kellberg Celts route, I walk consciously slowly, observing the nature around me:

How does the time of day affect me? How do I perceive the weather? How do sun rays, raindrops, wind, snowflakes... feel? When am I warm, cold, what do I feel as pleasant or unpleasant?
