Großer Welt-Raum-Weg in der Stadtpfarrkirche St. Nikolaus
- All weather
- Suitable for groups
The Great World Space Trail is a journey in seven stages, through fourteen listening and experience spaces: from the bathroom to the Bad Ischl parish church, across alpine pastures to the stone desert of the Totes Gebirge and back to your own everyday life.
The first section of the Great World Space Trail is in the valley and accessible without barriers. The "Church" listening room alone is an experience in itself. Start the Church listening room on your smartphone and with headphones on the bench in front of the main entrance: Audiotrack listening room church
Equipment
-Own headphones or headphones to borrow from the tourist office/drinking hall or the parish office
-Smartphone
How can I feel the future? Der Große Welt- Raum-Weg is a precisely composed audio piece that gently leads us from our seemingly perfectly organised world into a wild, radically original natural world. Audio tracks on the smartphone act as waymarks. Composed voices in the headphones of people from alpine farming and science, dance and bioengineering, alpinism and spirituality merge with the listeners and nature to create spaces of experience.
Such a process takes time: the path begins in the privacy of your own bathroom, then leads from the parish church in Bad Ischl in five to six daily stages from mountain hut to mountain hut, from listening room to listening room. In the stone desert of the high alpine plateau, people and world space can come together - the basic prerequisite for shaping a sustainable future together. From the Rettenbachalm to the Stodertal, the trail runs through alpine terrain, with the associated challenges and risks.* The last station leads into everyday life - where the Great World-Space Trail really begins.
Daily from 8:00-19:00
If a mass or other event is taking place in the church, please wait or come back.

Safety instructions
*The Great World Space Trail leads in its entirety from the Rettenbachalm through alpine terrain. There are therefore the corresponding risks and dangers. It is the responsibility of each hiker to check whether they have the necessary skills and knowledge to deal with the resulting dangers. Everyone is responsible for obtaining the necessary professional advice. Nature conservation regulations must be complied with.
From the Ischlerhütte, only experienced mountaineers are advised to hike the trail unaccompanied and without a guide. At three points (tracks 8, 9, 12), the Great World Space Trail makes detours into pathless terrain and leaves the marked paths. Track 8 leads into the immediate vicinity of an unsecured sinkhole. There is an increased risk of falling. Here, too, you walk at your own risk. In snowy conditions and outside of the huts' opening hours, it is not advisable to hike the trail. There is no telephone network for long stretches in the Totes Gebirge and emergency calls cannot be made without a telephone network. Take plenty of drinking water with you!
