Discovering religious diversity, living faith with tolerance. Spiritual enlightenment and happiness are closely related. More and more people seek to escape their hectic everyday lives by means of a spiritual journey on a pilgrimage, a monastery retreat or similar experiences. At the same time, many of them hope to get closer to nature and, in the end, themselves. This yearning is often described as spirituality, it is a mindful form of travelling combined with a search for inner happiness.
Germany has much to offer in this respect: Visiting sites of historical events, places where important characters from religious history lived and worked, travel to locations with religious significance (pilgrimages), for contemplation, meditation or simply quiet reflection. A chance to take time out from everyday life, enjoying the tranquility and magnificence of churches and abbeys or engaging in the meditative experience of a pilgrimage.
