Dear forum members.
I am looking for advice : which German pilgrim road to walk this summer / autumn ?
Last year, inspired by SYates, I walked the Via Regia (from Gorlitz to Erfurt), and really enjoyed it. And it got me inspired to explore the German pilgrims roads further. However, browsing through the internet, the opportunities seem to be endless, and I find it quite hard to make a decision. I hope this invaluable forum will help my decision making !
Some parameters:
- Walking on paved roads is not a problem for me.
- I do not have a preference for any particular kind of landscape. I also do not mind the occasional suburban or industrial slog.
- Having said this, if there exists a German equivalent for the meseta experience, I am happy to hear bout it.
- I can afford to stay some nights in hotels / pensions, but prefer more basic options. I am not sure if there are many Herbergen in Germany (apart from the Via Regia), but last year I also enjoyed sleeping on the floors of local vicarages.
- I really enjoy staying and sleeping in monasteries.
- I have app two weeks.
- I speak German.
Looking forward for any advice / experiences !
