"Path of the Senses - Path of Silence" Meditation Trail, St. Gerold Below the St. Gerold provost's house, the "Path of the Senses - Path of Silence" meditation trail leads past lovingly landscaped ponds through the soothing forest. It leads past the Geroldsruh (Gerold's Rest), the monastery pond, and the labyrinth, inviting you to become still and reflect on nature and creation. We are well acquainted with the visible world. But most people are unaware of the invisible world, even though it pervades everything and is more real than the visible world. Human life succeeds when we can connect the two worlds. The Path of the Senses and Silence aims to help us achieve this. The Path of the Senses ultimately leads to the labyrinth – an ancient, fascinating symbol of the human path through life, which is designed to achieve one great goal: the center of our lives. Winding paths lead toward this center and repeatedly deviate from it, only to finally reach it. The idea that there should be a clear path for us in life is not promised to us. God can write straight even on crooked lines. We are led through ups and downs. But at the end of life, we reach the great goal, the center, which is God himself.

Path of the Senses – Path of Silence, St. Gerold (Meditation Path) A meditation path with carefully landscaped paths, ponds, benches for relaxation, and a labyrinth. Below the St. Gerold provost's house, the "Path of the Senses – Path of Silence" meditation path leads past lovingly landscaped ponds through the soothing forest. It leads past the Geroldsruh (Gerold's Rest), the monastery pond, and the labyrinth, inviting you to become still and to experience nature and creation. We are well acquainted with the visible world. But most people are unaware of the invisible world, even though it pervades everything and is more real than the visible world. Human life succeeds when we can connect the two worlds. The Path of the Senses and Silence aims to help us achieve this. Over the years, a wonderful nature reserve has emerged in the forest below the provost's house, with thirteen ponds, small paths leading over bridges, surrounded by flowers, shrubs, trees, and benches that invite one to linger and meditate. Numerous plaques with aphorisms and poetic sayings by mystics of various religions, which speak of the mystery of the invisible world, inspire this. When we look at a flower, a tree, or a plant and perceive its stillness, we ourselves become still. Silence is the dwelling place of God. God is a God of silence. If we want to encounter him, we must temporarily step away from the hustle and bustle and noise. This is the real reason why this place of silence was created in the provost's house. Labyrinth The path ultimately leads to the labyrinth – an ancient, fascinating symbol of the human path through life, which is designed to achieve one great goal, the center of our lives. Winding paths lead toward this center and repeatedly deviate from it, only to finally reach it. The idea that there should be a clear path for us in life is not promised to us. God can write straight even on crooked lines. We are led through ups and downs. But at the end of life, we reach the great goal, the center, which is God himself.

St. Gerold's Provostship / The Gerold Legend ... ...from 1484 tells that Emperor Otto I had particular trouble with one of his countrymen. It was the nobleman Adam. He was very wealthy and owned large landholdings in Feldkirch and Bludenz. But this wasn't the sole reason for disregarding his noble opponent. Otto was crowned king in Aachen on August 7, 936. Henry, his younger brother, rose up against him and wanted to challenge Otto's royal title. Adam was also involved in this conspiracy. He supported Henry and thus became the king's bitter adversary. Emperor Otto, for his part, made short work of his enemies. But as it turned out, this wasn't so easy with Adam. Adam escaped the king and was temporarily nowhere to be found. He went into solitude. Riding a donkey, he ventured into the then-deserted Friesental (now the Großes Walsertal). This was certainly not the most comfortable way to travel through this unexplored region. One day, Gerold received a special visit. A bear, pursued by wild hunters, sought refuge with him. When the hunters arrived at Gerold's, they could hardly believe their eyes. The hunted bear was lying peacefully at the hermit Gerold's feet. Even the hunting dogs had joined the party and were already waiting for the hunters. Incidentally, the delicious provost's liqueur, "Bear Comforter," commemorates this episode. The fact that the bearded hermit lived in harmony with creation, or rather, with nature, quickly spread. King Otto also noted this with great interest. The former conflict between Otto and Gerold was now resolved. The king forgave him, and the two made peace. Gerold also received back all his land holdings. Yet Gerold continued his life as a hermit and worked as a benefactor. "He remains where he is, and he remains what he is." In 1684, Brother Fridolin Dumeisen from the Mariastein Monastery (CH) painted the legend of Gerold on ten large panels. This beautiful series of paintings can be seen at the Gerold Memorial.

St. Gerold Provostship (Seminar Hotel and Vacation Accommodation) Legend & History The St. Gerold Provostship can look back on a rich and varied history spanning approximately 1,000 years. Over the centuries, the small monastery has survived arson, periods of material deprivation and decay, as well as expropriation. However, through prudent management, initiative and innovative provosts have repeatedly increased and secured the monastery's material assets and also strengthened the provostship's spiritual aura, leading it to new prosperity. Today, the St. Gerold Provostship is a pearl of Benedictine culture and hospitality, known and appreciated far beyond the region's borders.

Propstei parish church / Propstei Sankt Gerold The provost church of St. Gerold is a nave church with a pitched roof and a north tower with a pointed gable helmet. It is located north of the monastery wing. Its hall with a flat wooden panel ceiling was redesigned by architect Arnold Stöckli. The sculptures were created by Hugo Imfeld. The entire altar wall is a fresco of the Incarnation of Christ by Ferdinand Gehr from 1966. Gerold von Großwalsertal († 978) found in the original choir room, which can be viewed through its own entrance. There are ten paintings by Fridolin Dumeisen's brother on the Geroldslegende from 1663. The entire interior of the Adamskapelle is also a painted artistic work by Ferdinand Gehr. There are a total of three organs in the Propsteiparrkirche, all of which were made by the organ builder Christoph Enzenhofer from Bludesch. The main or Mother of God organ (1990) has 38 registers on 3 manuals, there is also a choir positive (1988) with 5 registers and a chest organ (4 registers) from the year 2000. Since all three instruments are tuned the same, it is also possible to play music together on all organs. A composition by Augustinus Franz Kropfreiter, which premiered here in 2000, takes this fact into account. Text/Wikipedia https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propstei_Sankt_Gerold

Propstei Sankt Gerold The Benedictine priory of Sankt Gerold was founded in 960 and is located in St. Gerold, in the Großer Walsertal in Vorarlberg. Until 1958 it served as a monastery, since then as a church meeting and educational center. The provost was the spiritual property of Einsiedeln Abbey and, according to medieval law, had to have a secular patron. The bailiwick was initially in the hands of the Counts of Montfort before it came to the Thumben von Neuburg. The Abbot Adam Army Chapel, accessible via the monastery, is structurally connected to the provost parish church. The cemetery north-east of the church does not show any graves because the names of the buried dead are simply indicated on the church wall or on the cemetery wall. To the east, near the choir, there is a Gothic Chapel of Grace or Antonine Chapel with its own belfry. This originally Romanesque church was consecrated in 1313 and was the parish church of the Great Walser Valley until 1662. Next to it down the valley is the Wibrhus or women's house, which is used as a cultural space. A monastery garden enclosed by a wall is located south of the center of the valley in front of the monastery wing. To the west are farm buildings, such as a restaurant and coffee house, and beyond that is a large farm with a cowshed and riding stables.
