An inspiring Peace Bridge in Austria
3 June 2010: Puchenstuben - Ternberg
Shortly before we reached Reichraming, a little girl from the community, very eager to hold the torch, accompanied us to town.
She showed us the way to an especially significant location - a Peace-bridge, built by young people from Austria, Israel and Palestine, symbolising hope of Israel and Palestine living together harmoniously in the future.
People from the community, both runners and non-runners, had gathered... The Mayor welcomed us warmly, and spoke about the history of the community and its projects and efforts for fostering peace and Harmony.
