Mojones in Germany
I asked myself the same question :cool: It refers to Alpha and Omega. A is for Alpha (the beginning, where I come from) and O for Omega (the ending, showing pilgrims the direction). For some more information about the waymarkers of the Eichswalder Jakobsweg, see also... -
Mojones in Germany
I think I saw it as well. Near Elten, while walking the Nordrheinische Jakobsweg to Koln. Which is on the way to Santiago. :) -
From my doorstep in Germany - a (very!) long term project
Good to see you have continued the journey. How far do you plan to walk ? Hof ? Nurnberg ? Anyway, I am following with interest. Guten Weg ! -
Via Regia in Germany
As far as I know there is no listing of all accomodation on the internet. The PDF mentioned contains updates to the guidebook, but it is not a full list of all accomodation. I walked with a guidebook and without a smartphone (just a simple mobile phone). The jakobswege-deutschland website has a... -
Via Regia in Germany
Hello @NickyWalking The excellent post by SYates from 2016 is still very usefull today, there have only been some changes in the accomodation (some Herbergen do not exist anymore, and there are some new ones) but the route description is still more or less valid (no major changes). I walked... -
Der ÖkumenischePilgerweg - Via Regia - in Germany
Thank you for posting. It reflects the Via Regia very well I think & and it brings back good memories. I walked it last year, for a second time actually, that's how much I liked it. May consider a third time, to try the alternative routes you mention ;) -
Via Coriovallum (the Netherlands)
Thanks for the link. I had never heard of it, but it is on my to do list now. :) -
From my doorstep in Germany - a (very!) long term project
And there you go ;) It is not complete, but a starting point. (eg for Via Regia and Via Baltica you have to buy the guidebook to get all pilgrim accomodations), but maybe it is usefull for the route you intend to walk. https://www.pilgerunterkunft.de/ -
From my doorstep in Germany - a (very!) long term project
Didn't mean the DJH hostels (I avoid regular hostels as well), I meant Im Gloecknerstift (run by CSJM) in Wittenberg. And the pilgrim albergue in Bad Duben, run by an enthiousastic pilgrim (although a bit expensive for a Herberg). Is this the accomodation link posted already ? It does not... -
From my doorstep in Germany - a (very!) long term project
Very much enjoy reading your adventures, and it brings back memories to last year when I walked this myself. Next stage: Wittenberg, I presume. There is a Herberg there, worth staying overnight. Next stage you will probably have to take a hotel or pension, but there will be a Herberg again in... -
Has anyone here walked the Camino from Poland?
I know of two guides, both in German: https://www.oekumenischer-pilgerweg.de/gehen/pilgerf%C3%BChrer-bestellen.html https://www.conrad-stein-verlag.de/buecher-shop/via-regia/ And then there are GPS tracks available here: https://www.jakobswege-europa.de/wege/oekumenischer-pilgerweg.htm And... -
Has anyone here walked the Camino from Poland?
I understand your worries. Infrastructure in Germany is not comparable with Spain. With some exceptions, though. Walking from Gorlitz to Marburg you can stay in pilgrim accomodation (Herbergen) almost every day. Also on the Via Baltica (in the north) there are many Herbergen. But if you really... -
Has anyone here walked the Camino from Poland?
I am not sure if I understand you correctly, but do you want to walk in Poland, or do you want to walk from Poland to Santiago ? I have not walked in Poland, but I know there are some camino paths there. Please check this website for further details. https://camino.net.pl/ There are several... -
"The British pilgrimage problem" - magazine article
Good point! However it made me wonder. It seems this thread is a bit pessimistic. I would argue that at least there is a growing interest in British pilgrimage routes. Don't know if and when more affordable accomodation will become available, but maybe we should not compare the UK with Spain... -
Via Imperii (Berlin - Leipzig) - a short report
I found out by trying to reserve places in specific towns through booking.com, finding only few (or no) options, and then finding many more options (that do not appear at booking.com) when visiting the websites of these specific towns. Again, I am not claiming this applies to all countries and... -
Via Imperii (Berlin - Leipzig) - a short report
Via Imperii - stage by stage Stage 1 Berlin - Teltow (25km) The 'official' starting point is at the Brandenburger Tor. On the way out of Berlin we follow the ‘Berlin green trail’, meaning you are mainly walking through parks and leafy suburbs. The last 8 km we follow the Berlin Mauer Weg, a... -
Via Imperii (Berlin - Leipzig) - a short report
In September I walked the Jakobsweg from Berlin to Leipzig, also known as Via Imperii. As there isn’t much information in English about this route, I hope this short report may be usefull for some. The Via Imperii is the collection of imperial roads of the Roman Empire. The Jakobusgesellschaft... -
Via Regia/ Der Ökumenische Pilgerweg
As far as I can see, as far as accomodation is concerned, most Herbergen are still there after covid. There are regular updates on the Oekumenischer Pilgerweg website - see Erganzung 11 Auflage. Unfortunately the Herberg in Leipzig Sommerfeld is now closed, as well the Herberg in Marienstern... -
Via Regia in Winter?
I have walked the Via Regia and the Elisabethpfad (Eisenach - Marburg), but not in winter. However, I can adress some of the question you raised in previous posts. There is indeed a lot of pilgrim accomodation on the VR. And also and the EP from Eisenbach-Marburg, it is in fact also very well... -
Via Imperii Stettin to Berlin in 7 days: stage breakdown (with a tent)
Sorry to read about the creepy experience in Angermunde, but luckily it seems you did not let this spoil the rest of your journey. Btw the pilgrim shelter in Stolzenhagen looks like a really nice place indeed (just checked their website). Staying in somehow unusual places (including actually...
