Walking Together for Peace

8,500 kilometres. 19 countries. Thousands of people. One shared goal: to make peace visible.

The international Peace Walk 2026 stretches from Spain to Jerusalem/Al-Quds, bringing together people, cultures, and stories on a shared journey towards peace, understanding, and connection.

The Burgenland will also become part of this movement:

The Peace Walk Burgenland is being created as a connecting route running from south to north along existing hiking trails of the Castle Road (Schlösserstraße). The route will ultimately join the Jerusalem Way – the world’s longest peace trail – in Neusiedl am See.

For us as the Castle Road, this is much more than a hiking trail:

The Peace Walk makes visible what we stand for.

🏰 Once, castles were places of defence.
🌍 Today, they become places of encounter and dialogue.

Entirely in line with our motto:

„From Fortress to Bridge.”

The Peace Walk will stop at four members of the Castle Road:

📍 Schloss Tabor | June 20, 2026
📍 Burg Güssing | June 21, 2026
📍 Friedensburg Schlaining | July 11, 2026
📍 Burg Bernstein | July 11, 2026

A special moment awaits participants on July 11 at Friedensburg Schlaining:
There, the Chairman of the Castle Road, Andreas Bardeau, together with Johannes Aschauer, will personally welcome the walkers.

Whether for an hour, a day, or an entire stage of the route – everyone is invited to become part of this movement.
