Water supply points along the Way of St James in the Weinviertel

Drinking fountains

Empty water bottles can be quickly refilled with fresh water at the drinking fountains along the Way of St James.

As a pilgrim, you should not underestimate the physical exertion involved in travelling on foot. Staying well-hydrated is essential for your physical wellbeing. Drink much more than your thirst would suggest. An old mountaineering rule goes: “Drink like a calf (lots!) and walk like an ox (slowly, especially downhill – your knees will thank you for it!) – then you’ll go far and stay healthy!”
