Adventurous, five-day hiking week

From 5 to 9 August, there is an adventurous walking week to reflect on your place in the earth’s eco-system. With a maximum of 10 participants, you will walk the first part of the route. The week is fully catered for with food and sleep. The overnight stays are often adventurous. You will sleep in a hotel, a monastery, a garden bird sanctuary and in a teepee.

The two supervisors Manja and Thomas have come up with the week and are volunteering. Manja is co-developer of the Walk of Wisdom and Thomas is a board member. Thomas wrote a love letter for the earth in which he promises not to buy any new stuff for a year (anymore).

The week costs €285 for four nights, four breakfasts, four dinners, one packed lunch and the welcome and goodbye coffee/tea. Drinks and the other lunches are at your own expense, the latter we buy together during the walk. If you do not yet have a starter kit for the Walk of Wisdom , €30 will be added and you will be registered as a pilgrim and the package will be sent to your home.
