🔻 Description
• The Cursillo House St. Jakobus in Oberdischingen, a former Franciscan hospice, is a pilgrims' hostel and a spiritual education and meeting place. The "Haus St. Jakobus Foundation - Swabian St. Jakobus Society" is also headquartered here.

• The hostel is located opposite the "Holy Trinity" pilgrimage church, built in 1713. This makes the house easy to find.

• The so-called Cursillo House is simply but tastefully decorated. In addition to the friendly and attentive service, I would also like to emphasize the good and tasty food. The meals are freshly prepared. Even special dietary requirements are accommodated. The many appreciative entries in the guest book confirm my positive impression.

• I also feel very comfortable in the beautiful garden with its inviting nooks for resting, reading, or simply enjoying the space. A special eye-catcher is the four-meter-high "Cruz de Luz" by Dutch artist Ria Bindels, designed in the Franciscan shape of a rope.

There, you can leave a stone with your name and inscribe it with a wish, a thought, or a memory of a specific person.

🔻 Notes
• The house is located on the Upper Swabian Way of St. James,
komoot.de/tour/2421267961 and the
• Way of St. James Ansbach – Ulm – Oberdischingen.
komoot.de/tour/2445503575.

Both paths are maintained by the Swabian Society of St. James.
The St. Martin's Way also runs through Oberdischingen.

🔻 TIPS!
• Here at the Cursillo House, you can receive the coveted pilgrim stamp and purchase a pilgrim's passport.
• I can recommend an overnight stay to anyone who isn't looking for the upscale amenities of a hotel. haus-st-jakobus.de/de/110/Pilgerbett-buchen.html

You can find the hostel's offerings and the annual program of the spiritual education and meeting center on the website. haus-st-jakobus.de
