ABSTRACT
In this chapter the author talks about Martin Heidegger's pathway (1947-1948). The call of the pathway awakens a sense which loves the free and open and, at the propitious place, leaps over sadness and into a final serentity. This serenity resists the senselessness of merely working, which, when done for itself, promotes only emptiness. In the pathway’s seasonally changing breeze thrives this wise serenity whose mien often seems melancholy. From Ehnried the way turns back towards the park gate. Its narrow ribbon rises over the last hill and runs through some low ground until it reaches the town wall. It shines dimly in the starlight. There, behind the castle, rises the tower of St. Martin's Church. With the last stroke the stillness becomes yet more still. It reaches out even to those who were sacrificed before their time in two world wars.
