Testimonial von Manfred Schwab & Donatella Magliani für Alois Steger

Alois Steger
Alois represents an essential, energetic and symbolic connection between Austria and Italy. Every year Alois walks the APC Peace Hike, barefoot. He is even worse equipped than the fugitives at that time. Barefoot and safe he wanders over hill and dale, on cold and hot rocks, through snow fields, in the glowing sun and in the pouring rain. His attachment to the earth on the escape route then is immediate and completely natural. May this tree, which is dedicated to Alois, make the bond even stronger, the bond between yesterday and today, between Italy and Austria, between the peoples of this earth.
