Four paths - Aubrac
Day 5 of the Via Podiensis
It is my 63rd birthday. I am infinitely grateful to have Arni by my side.
In the morning, I am serenaded by Thomas and Veronika with a funny birthday song, joined by our fellow pilgrims during breakfast:
It is Ascension Day, and according to the holiday, it will be a very beautiful stage of 25 km to Aubrac.
We are walking at 1300 m altitude, it is an impressive landscape. Countless orchids are blooming, as well as others.

At noon, we say goodbye to the people from Stuttgart with a coffee, singing "Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten" together with an Austrian.
We feel like we are walking through infinite vastness...
...only to be caught up by our past:
Louis Dalle was freed in Buchenwald and was subsequently a priest in South America.
Who is the stronger one?
The birthday was celebrated in style, after we had settled in the pilgrim's hostel, a cozy medieval tower in Aubrac.
