The thing that started it all.... Bored at the home office? Nothing to do tomorrow, Friday, Dec 11th at 10am CET? You live in the US and cannot sleep or work as a night desk clerk? Well, I was asked to present the Via Alpina Sacra (in English) at the Mountain Reading Festival (in Nice, France -...

thanks @Magwood . It was not that hard though. As you know, a good wide angle lense helps to make you be small in the big world out there - even without running that far from the cam. When it's beautiful there is the excitement to get to share the grandious landscapes with others. Only when you...

@Baba John thanks for the feedback. There is a 60 minute film about the first part of my walk (the first 5000 miles from Liechtenstein zu Jerusalem) here: https://www.reelhouse.org/birettballett/ For a map visit: http://4kmh.com/neo/ It is very different in style form the Via Alpina Sacra...

@TaijiPilgrim thanks. Yes, the abbot said some great things. When I get around to it, I should include his other answers in a bonus clip. I just ended up using this particular one because it tied in well with the closing thoughts. As I say admidst my stammering on the superficiality of knowing...

@Old Bamboo Glad you liked it. I guess the only thing I have about my walk to Jerusalem ist film "To where God dwells" (60 min). Also available on Reelhouse. https://www.reelhouse.org/birettballett/to-where-god-dwells It is in English. Though I should note (as I did in the other thread), that...

@Rex Great. I wish you a good start on the VF and a journey with many blessings. I checked if our paths could cross next year (as I hope to start on the Via Columbani from Ireland to Italy) but it only briefly intersects with the VF 4 times. Ultreia and a fruitful Advent to you. @VNwalking ...

Wow @Theatregal . Big skies! My two longest local walks (within 150 miles from home) in 2020 both led me to a discovery of "proper" Caminos I had not known about. I don't have photos handy, but I shot some vids. Hope it is ok to link them, instead of making screenshots My attempt at the Alta...

There is a basic map with some of the shrines listed in the pages of the translation excerpt. Link in the first post here: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/a-2700-mile-pilgrimage-to-more-than-200-shrines-in-the-alps.68893/ For a more detailed view I uploaded a gpx here (but...

@Martin Cole Here is how to do it: 1) You click rent or buy. A form appears. 2) No paypal or credit card info required (unless you want to donate something). You just put the code into the field "Promo Code" (it is in the 4th row of the form). 3) With the code entered correctly you will see that...

@Rex Thank you. I think you already got to look at the updated version, in which I have started to integrate some of the valuable suggestions by the kind people here and eliminated at least some of the punctuation problems and mistakes. All the best for the VF! Are you starting in England or...

@Marbe2 thanks for the feedback. There might be some things I have discussed in PMs that have not yet been mentioned in the thread. Here is the gist of it: Because the book is 448 pages (in that particular format at least - with all the images) I could not even think of doing a manual...

@timr thanks again for the PM @Pinker to thank you for the feedback @Robo Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the Jerusalem film. Hopefully you will also like the new one (more below). It is different. Way more talking and Music. I do at times still experiment with natural sound...

After having walked to Santiago, Rome and Jerusalem in 2018 I set out on yet another pilgrimage: the Via Alpina Sacra - a route comparable in length to the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) but with twice the positive elevation change. Traversing 8 countries and an entire mountain range, by the end I...

Dear friends - Help? Native Speakers? 15 Minutes of your time? I'm a catholic priest. Two years back I visited more than 200 shrines in the alps on a 2700 mile pilgrimage aptly titled "Via Alpina Sacra". Last year I published the book in German. You don't like mountains? You don't care for...

Thanks, glad some people like my film :) I did another long walk last summer and am working on a new film - different in tone this time (more conventional maybe). This link counts as a trailer (second half of the video), I guess: While I might not continue past episode 10 with the english...

Facebook sent me to this forum (post about thievery, of all things). Browsed through the "Other Pilgrimage Routes" to see what's new and found this thread about my walk. The Via Alpina Sacra is done now, though I'm still laboring with the aftermath (video episodes). There are a few online now on...

I have returned home after 15 months and put together a humorous and hopefully somewhat informative "How-to" for people who are pulled towards the east. Eccolo: http://www.4kmh.com/faqeng.php

@steve I'm on my way home from Jerusalem so I went the reverse direction from Istanbul to Rome. I did not always take the shortest route but I have gps tracks for the whole way some of which could be helpful. See www.4kmh.com for details and pictures of the roads and paths each day. I crossed...

Hi fellow pilgrims, I know there are some attempts to stream-line other pilgrimage routes for a little camino comfort. Such efforts exist for example for the way to Jerusalem. That has some benefits. It may also take a little out of the actual experience, I believe, but that is besides the...

Currently the Jerusalem Way Project is centered around some historical routes coming from the west. On my own pilgrimage to Jerusalem I chose a more exotic route (as I´m going there and back again) and passed through Harran and Urfa (Oct. 2013) but I saw no trace of an actually existing Abraham...
