Via Regia in Germany
Yes, you can order it from this link. There are also supplementals on the side of the same page. Afaik it's all in German. -
Austria - Extrempilgern?
There was one I knew of in the Peak District in N. England, the Bullock Smithy 90km/24hr loop with 3000 m of elevation change. No pilgrim connection though. -
Via Regia in Winter?
Thanks lk, I might dive into this a bit more if I can. I came across a hiking route before which I think was called the Wanderweg, from Aachen to also Goerlitz, to celebrate reunification. It's didn't follow the VR, but perhaps there was also a hiking boom in Germany at the time which... -
Via Regia in Winter?
Yes I've browsed it before but thanks for reminding me of it. This might be a mistaken assumption, but it seems to like the routes with the most development are in those regions which were traditionally Protestant. Is this accurate? Was there some kind of pilgrimage revival in German... -
Via Regia in Winter?
Thanks Marc that chimes with what I've been reading. Someone did the VB recently and I think camped all the way, could be wrong. I quite like the Brick Gothic you get in that part of Germany, but I'd assumed it would be the coldest place in the country, probably because in Ireland (and probably... -
Via Regia in Winter?
So it seems anything goes 😅 The scenery around Naumburg is actually one of the draws for me on this route, another poster here described it as Germany's Tuscany, though I'm sure he wasn't thinking about what it would be like in winter. The motivation behind looking into this route at this time... -
Via Regia in Winter?
@mspath , yes I scanned through the Via Regia threads on this forum before posting. Those who've walked it haven't done so in winter, unless I've missed something. I've also checked the website associated with the guide. @lovingkindness thanks for that account. "I loved walking through winter... -
Via Regia in Winter?
Hi all I'm exploring the idea of walking the Via Regia or Elisabethpfad in winter. Could anyone who has done this, or is familiar with hiking in central Germany in winter, please give me an idea of what to expect? I've checked the climate data for a few cities along the route against those on... -
The Aachen Pilgrimage 2021 - June 18-28
This appears to have been postponed to 2023, link here. -
Information about Pieterpad?
If you don't have another method to translate and are using chrome, right click somewhere on the page and click 'translate to English'. Haven't walked it myself but looked into it last year and asked around. From what I gather it's quite popular in summer, but most walkers (and cyclists) do it... -
Slovakia : Trasa na Slovensku
The trip already ended I'm afraid; I was short on time so I had to skip Levoca. I did manage to get to the wooden church in Kezmarok, Kosice, and into the High Tatras, as well as Bratislava. Seems like it would be a great route, if the accommodation would be more plentiful. -
Slovakia : Trasa na Slovensku
Just adding that I saw evidence of this route recently, on a visit to Spiss Castle. Saw the odd seashell sticker too in Bratislava. -
Via Imperii Stettin to Berlin in 7 days: stage breakdown (with a tent)
No but I'm thinking of getting one. I had someone tell me that it was better to bring just a tarp to save weight but it seems a bit exposed. -
Via Imperii Stettin to Berlin in 7 days: stage breakdown (with a tent)
Informative and enjoyable read, thanks florrod. Mind if I ask what tent you used? -
Via Imperii Stettin to Berlin in 7 days: stage breakdown (with a tent)
Thanks for write up, I was reading about this route a few weeks ago. Do you plan to continue to Leipzig? -
Group walk planned for the Via Romea Germanica
Hi all The German wing of the Via Romea Germanica society is organising a group walk this year. There will be a prelude in Norway and Denmark, before beginning officially in the traditional starting point of Stade in June. 94 stages later, they plan to finish in Rome in October (that's 4... -
Way of Saint Columbanus
A few more websites to add, aside from the VDA one mentioned above. This one hosts some more information, as well as an interactive map where routes can be found. This one is the Swiss branch of the same community (I think). I have to say there seems to be a lot of organisation going on for... -
Way of Saint Columbanus
Turns out there is a variant of the VF which goes through Bobbio called the Via Degli Abati. It has it's own website, the route appears to diverge from the VF at Pavia and rejoin it in Pontremoli. -
From home in Ireland to Santiago de Compostela.
Best of luck Eamonn, can I ask why you opted to go through England instead of taking the ferry from Rosslare?
