Pastor Brita Bartels took on the adventure of walking the nearly 600 km path to the cathedral in Trondheim at the age of 52. Each stage of her journey was an extraordinary experience. She shares exciting and humorous stories about her encounters with local people, the camaraderie with fellow pilgrims, and the challenges of the trail. With a touch of self-irony, she brings to life the highs and lows, the sad and joyful moments. Her long experience as a counselor and spiritual guide enriches her reflections, making her book an inspiration for those who are also searching, following their own aspirations, and seeking change. The secret of pilgrimage captivates both young and old, connecting physical and spiritual renewal. Thus, this book is more than just a pilgrimage guide: it motivates its readers to embark on a journey to the center of their own lives.
