Edith Stein Trail

From the starting point, you can see the first station of the trail: the bust of Edith Stein. From there, follow the signpost with the golden plaque of Edith Stein. The path is marked in white and yellow.

Continue to the entry of the switchbacks of Calvary Mountain. Follow the switchback path; the path partially intersects with the old Way of the Cross.

Continue until you reach the well-known window with a view of Eppan. From there, you have a beautiful view over Eppan all the way to Girlan.

From here, continue downhill over the polished stones of Gleifberg (caution: slippery!). From there, you have a wonderful view of Englar Castle. At the end of the path, continue on a public path between orchards. There you will discover the fertility slide. From there, follow the directions towards Moos. The path ends directly below Moos-Schulthaus Castle. From there, continue to the Steinegger inn. From here, continue towards Matschatsch Castle.

Station 1: Bust of Edith Stein: You never see the whole person because we will never fully grasp and recognize a person in their entirety.

Station 2: Motto on the wall of the parish house: "God, my God, I seek you." Edith was searching, rejecting, questioning, and ultimately finding. This was her guiding motto throughout her life.

Station 3: Works of Mercy: Describes the foundation and summary of her life.

Station 4: Plaque "Via Dr. Edith Stein Trail": Plaque with various symbols: Star of David, cross, sun, and a portrait of herself.

Station 5: "Dio é Veritá e chi cerca la Veritá, cerca Dio": The artist of the sign (Joseph Rainer) wrote it in such a way that you have to read it attentively to understand it.

Station 6: Wayside shrine Childhood and youth: The wayside shrine explains Edith Stein's childhood and youth with the help of various images and symbols.

Station 7: Window with a view of Eppan: "Be like a window through which God's goodness can shine into the world."

Further stations are still under development.
