Via Alpina Pilgrimage

[JabbaPapa]

I genuinely admire the Pilgrimage that this Priest from Liechtenstein is planning this year :

wonderful video! Watch!

I agree - watch the video! Visit the website! Here is also a recent article in the Catholic Herald: Austrian priest to undertake epic pilgrimage across the Alps

But really, watch the video.

Just a minor correction of the OP: he's not German, he's German-speaking and he's lived in Australia as an exchange student, his English is great, too. I didn't get the "poor man's Bishop Barron" reference. TV?

Thanks for posting. I'm definitely going to follow this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Barron_(bishop) is very active on all kinds of multi/social media, as is Don Johannes ;-) BC SY

Yes Liechtenstein silly me, particularly given my familiarity with microstates -- thanks, corrected

Facebook sent me to this forum (post about thievery, of all things). Browsed through the "Other Pilgrimage Routes" to see what's new and found this thread about my walk.
The Via Alpina Sacra is done now, though I'm still laboring with the aftermath (video episodes). There are a few online now on the channel already listed above, including the trailer here:

Not sure if I continue to do the english episodes as it is a lot of work and interest does not seem too great (What happened to the people of Iowa? ;-) ). So I might end it after episode 10 (which is already recorded) that will be out on May 12th. But I do have a full length film coming up a few weeks from now and those who speak German will still get the individual episodes about the trip.

Cheers,
Fr. Johannes
