Useful information for modern-day pilgrims
Once you have arrived in Heiligenblut, you will find a dedicated Pilgrims Stamp at the village’s ancient St. Vincent church, along with a Benediction Bracelet for every pilgrim to keep as a memento. Each stage of the trail has been designated a specific colour, all of which are featured on the bracelet – resulting in a rainbow-coloured design. In addition, special commemorative carabiners are available at the Tourist Information Office in the main square.
