Which are the most spiritual places on Earth?
Introduction
Have you ever visited somewhere and felt a huge connection with something?
Or perhaps you have an overwhelming desire to travel to a particular destination?
This might be wanderlust talking. But it could be divine intervention pulling you in the right direction.
Certain places elicit strong spiritual connections.
There might be a specific country, town, or district that just makes you feel at peace. You’ll feel like you’re coming home.
Generally speaking, this all happens when there is a strong energy vortex (or field).
What Is an Energy Field?
An energy vortex is a location on the globe that contains more earth-bound vibrations than other areas (i.e. normal areas).
Most people believe that they appear where ley lines cross.
But others believe it is all down to random placement. Whatever the origin, energy fields are powerful.
These vortexes are known to contain super-powerful spiritual properties and can dramatically increase the ability of prayer, healing, and meditation.
Vortex finders report feeling deep self-insight, harmony, peace, and balance when visiting an energy field. But this isn’t a one-size-fits-all deal.
The places we’re going to discuss have been spiritual for many but won’t necessarily elicit the same feelings inside you. It’s all about trial and error.
With that being said, take a look at the 11 spiritual places with the strongest energy field!
List Of 16 Spiritual Places With The Strongest Energy Field:
#1 Mount Gugu, Romania
The Gugu Peak of the Godeanu Mountains is one of the most mysterious places in Romania.
Tourists from all over the world are attracted to “the mountain that disappears,” considered a sacred place by the Dacians.
Tourists can visit the peak Gugu and Cracul Peşterii, where another spectacular phenomenon occurs, the reflection of the sun’s rays.
From the cave, one can see the stars even during the day. For this reason, fans of paranormal phenomena believe that this place has an energy charge.
Note – the Gugu Shelter is the perfect place to stay in the Godeanu Mountains both during summer and winter as well. The building was rebuilt about 7 years ago, and the interior conditions are very good.
#2 Mount Parnassus, Greece
Mount Parnassus is a mountain of limestone in central Greece that towers above Delphi, north of the Gulf of Corinth.
It is named after Parnassos, the son of the nymph Kleodora and the man Kleopompus.
Parnassus was the site of a few unrelated minor events in Greek mythology, such as:
- in Book 19 of The Odyssey, Odysseus recounts a story of how he was gored in the thigh during a boar hunt on Mount Parnassus in his youth;
- the Corycian Cave, located on the slopes of Parnassus, was sacred to Pan and to the Muses;
- Mount Parnassus was sacred to the god Dionysus;
- Orestes spent his time in hiding on Mount Parnassus;
- in some versions of the Greek flood myth, the ark of Deucalion comes to rest on the slopes of Parnassus.
#3 Mount Shasta, California
Mount Shasta (elevation – 14,179 ft) is a potentially active volcano at the southern end of the Cascade Range in Siskiyou County, California.
Artifacts found in the surrounding area conservatively suggest at least 11,000 years of human habitation, designating this region as one of the longest-occupied areas of North America.
Northwestern California Native American tribes traditionally view Mount Shasta as being energetically and structurally connected to a wide range of important volcanic mountains and landscapes that extend southwards and northwards of their tribal territories.
#4 Mount Kailash, Tibet
Mount Kailash (elevation – 21,778 ft), known in Tibet as “Precious Jewel of Snow,” is located in far western Tibet’s Ngari prefecture, more than 1200 kilometers from the Tibetan capital city of Lhasa.
It is regarded as the earthly manifestation of the mythic Mount Meru, the spiritual center of the universe in Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain cosmology.
As a result, this is the spot where thousands of religious people come to make the sacred pilgrimage around the mountain.
According to a legend, Lord Shiva lives atop Mount Kailash, where he spends his time practicing yogic austerities, making joyous love with his divine consort.
#5 Bucegi Mountains, Romania
The Bucegi Mountains are located in central Romania, south of the city of Brașov.
They are part of the Southern Carpathians group of the Carpathian Mountains.
The peak, Omu, rises 2505 meters (about 1.5 miles) above the pristine Prahova Valley.
Since 1935, the area has been considered a national park and is included on Romania’s protected areas list.
The name Bucegi, as well as the name of Bucşoiu Peak, nearby Peak Omu, derives from the Romanian word “Buc” or “Bucur,” the Dacian word for ”authentic.”
The Bucegi is thought to be the Dacian holy mountain Kogainon.
For many years, several Romanian scientists used special equipment to study unknown energy that can be felt in the area. One scientist said during an interview:
“We saw glowing lights several nights on the mountain top. Once, when I reached the top with some friends, I was dead tired, but after ten minutes, we were all invigorated as if we hadn’t climbed up there. ”
The conspiracies hinge on the underground, the labyrinthine tunnel network within the mountain.
Theorists believe that within these tunnels, one could find “rooms, huge rooms, with huge tables and stone chairs for people much, much taller than us.”
The most accessible road in the plateau starts in Sinaia and follows the so-called Transbucegi or the Babelor Road (24 km).

Moreover, there is an old well, the so-called Chalice Well, at the foot of the Tor.
The water of the well has a blood-red color and bubbles with a specific sound, like the heartbeat.

#7 Machu Picchu, Peru
Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel that is located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru on a mountain ridge 7,970 feet (2,430 meters) above sea level.
This little town has no road access from any surrounding towns, therefore, it is not reachable by car.
Archaeologists have determined that the temple structures and monuments served the practical purpose of marking the equinoxes and solstices.
There are, however, many strange details in Machu Picchu (like a stone staircase leading nowhere) that seem to suggest it was used for some other purpose that still remains a mystery.
