Each of these sculptures symbolizes a continent held in place by a cast bronze angel wing. Each of the continents carries a verse of the song “Silent Night”. On the back there is information about Franz Xaver Gruber and the distribution of the song. Signs along the way describe important places for the young Franz Xaver Gruber, such as the location of the house where he was born, the baptismal font, and the training center where he received his first organ lessons.

Born in Hochburg, Franz Xaver Gruber once composed the Christmas carol "Silent Night". Today this song is sung around the world. People are on the move for the rest of their lives. Nowadays in particular, many people consciously “set off”.
