EMMA’S PILGRIMAGE ROUTEEmma’s Pilgrimage Route connects the places which are directly or indirectly connected to the life, work and heritage of St. Emma. It runs through places where the worship of St. Emma started in the Middle Ages and continues until today, and covers areas which were once owned by Emma and are thematically closely related to St. Emma. It runs through the regions of Koroška, Štajerska, Dolenjska and Gorenjska and is associated with the route in Austria bearing the same name (Hemmapilgerweg).
It links buildings built on her initiative or on her estates; monuments depicting her as well as places and areas from where people pilgri-maged in large groups to worship St. Emma.
The final destination of pilgrimage or the centre of worship is the tomb of St. Emma in the crypt of the cathedral in Krka (Gurk).
EMMA’S PILGRIMAGE ROUTE IN SLOVENIASaint Emma represents an important link between the Slovenes and Austrians.
In the framework of the “Emma’s Pilgrimage Route” project, car-ried out in the context of the Interreg IIIA SI-AT programme, 2006 marked the beginning of a revival of Emma’s Pilgrimage Route in Slovenia. Then, the route was partially laid out and marked in the portion of the route between Sv. Ema near Podčetrtek and Šentru-pert on Dolenjska.
The project abbreviated to Pilgrimage Europe SI-AT is being run as part of the Operational Programme Slovenia–Austria 2007–2013 and continues the revival of Emma’s Pilgrimage Route (687 km), which will now be fully marked.
Emma’s pilgrimage route from Reht above Mežica to LjubeljFrom Pliberk (Bleiburg), Emma's Pilgrimage Route leads to the former border crossing of Reht/Raunjak and descends to Mežica. Then, it leads from Pikovo or Podpeca to Črna na Koroškem and further through Javorje to the Naravske ledine hut. The route passes the Ivarčko Lake and goes through Sele to Slovenj Gradec and continues to Dravograd. Following an ascent to the village of Ojstrica on Kozjak, it runs to Pernice and further through Bistriški jarek and Sveti Trije Kralji to Radlje ob Dravi. Emma's Pil-grimage Route now leads across the River Drava to Vuhred and further to the Pohorje hills. The route leads across Janževski Vrh, Lehen and Lovrenc na Pohorju to Ruše. Through Limbuš, Pekre and Zgornje Radvanje, it then leads to Maribor. It passes the cathedral and Piramida, and from there continues to Malečnik and onwards through Duplek and Vurberk to Ptuj. Again, it crosses the River Drava and takes us through Hajdina to Ptujska Gora. Now, the route turns across Haloze below Donačka gora and through Rogatec and Rogaška Slatina to Sv. Ema. Then it leads through Podčetrtek to Olimje and onwards through Virštanj to Pilštanj. Here, there is a direct way to Kozje. However, the main direction of Emma's Pilgrimage Route
MARKING OF EMMA’S PILGRIMAGE ROUTE IN SLOVENIAEmma’s Pilgrimage Route in Slovenia is marked in accordance with the Mountain Paths Act (Official Journal of the RS 61/2007) and the Instructions for marking thematic hiking trails.
Where Emma’s Pilgrimage Route runs along the trail of the mountain path, it is marked with a white-and-red Knafelc blaze (Knafelčeva markacija), direction arrow and a red sign with white text.
The remaining part of Emma’s Pilgrimage Route is marked with a whi-te-and-yellow round sign, a yellow direction arrow and a yellow sign with black text for thematic hiking trails. At the main crossroads, direction plates are supplemented by a label with the logo of Emma’s Pilgrimage Route. In the area between Sv. Ema near Podčetrtek and Šentrupert in the Dolenjska region, Emma’s Pilgrimage Route is additionally marked with wooden pla-tes with the route logo.
The most important locations on Emma’s Pilgrimage Route are equipped with information panels with all the important information about the path.
