PILGRIMAGE

As Bjornsborg is an area rich in history and tradition, it should be no 
surprise that it is rich in saints and shrines as well.  Tour our
 pilgrimage route, stop a moment at a roadside shrine, learn a bit about
 St. Anthony of Padua (San Antonio) or Saint Margaret Polycarp (a local 
saint), visit the shrine to St. Sebastian, where else but at the archery
 range.  Those who complete the pilgrimage route will receive a small 
remembrance of their sojourn in Bjornsborg.
