    Longer Caminos?

    Although there is camping available, there is lodging available along the entire Geneva route. Get the yellow Amis guide here: http://chemins.amis-st-jacques.org/?page_id=6 Just a note that many camping-grounds have small cabins, tents, or caravans (already set up) on offer at very reasonable...

    Longer Caminos?

    I have - so far - walked from Prague nearly to Le Puy, and from Le Puy to SJPP. Daily details in my blog (link in sig block below). Daily expenses ran about EUR45 in France, EUR 60-70 in Germany and Switzerland, and probably EUR 40 in Czech (they're not on the Euro though). Every town in Germany...

    The longest, reasonably marked & with infrastructure, Camino?

    If you are walking as far as you seem to envision, it would be a shame to miss the eastern half of Switzerland (Konstanz to Interlaken) along the Via Jacobi. In all the European ways of st james, this region has the. most. spectacular. scenery.

    Augustine Camino in July

    This looks a lovely route - interesting history and established logistics support. Thanks for sharing!

    Info on Camino through Luxembourg

    Conrad-Stein (publisher of the little yellow guidebooks) has one for Luxembourg, on the Mullerthal Trail. I cannot tell if any of the route overlaps your plan. https://www.conrad-stein-verlag.de/buecher-shop/luxembourg-mullerthal-trail/

    Jakobsweg

    The Swiss routes are very well served by public transport (mostly train, some bus). Also, the Swiss tend to hike solo or in pairs, as opposed to the organized groups in France. And, there are fewer walkers in Switzerland. So there is no market for the auto-based luggage transport found on the Le...

    Prague to Geneva 2018

    I used "GPS Kit" for the route from Prague in 2012, but I'm sure there are others equally good available now. So there are two bits: an underlying map app, and then the gps track data. I think that architecture applies regardless of which app you use.

    Via Sacra pilgrimage, Austria- blog

    The correct link to the start of her Via Sacra blog is https://walkingwithoutadonkey.com/2017/10/12/walking-without-a-donkey-via-sacra-pilgrimage/ And she has written extensively about her other walking experiences in Europe - happy reading!

    Via Romea - Stade (near Hamburg) to Rome

    Oh boy! Another possibility to contemplate. Thanks for letting us know!

    The British Pilgrimage Trust!!

    It is really unfortunate that so many have their first (or only) pilgrimage experience on the Camino Frances, because the situation on the CF really is an outlier in the universe of pilgrimage paths: frequent and quite inexpensive accommodation, thousands of fellow pilgrims, and a hospitality...

    Nuremberg/Nürnberg Jakobsweg/Pilgerweg

    Perfect plan! I walked the same route, blogged the daily details at https://kitsambler.wordpress.com Lovely trip; small towns, forests, farm lands. Stayed at Gasthause mostly, for which there was no competition in the late May - early June timeframe I walked. Beware Konstanz, which has Swiss...

    Prague to Geneva 2018

    Not quite true; the first two years, I walked the Le Puy route. Just happened to find myself in Prague the following year, and knew there was a route there.

    Prague to Geneva 2018

    Here's the thing. There are so few Englishers on this route, and it is such a great journey. People need their eyes opened to what they're missing ("You mean it's not just in Spain?"). This is your opportunity to leave a legacy for other pilgrims. Besides, composing a journal fills in the time...

    Prague to Geneva 2018

    In September I'll walk from Le Grand Lemps (due south of Lyon) to Le Puy, which will fill in the only bit I'm missing from Prague to the Spanish border. Leaving only Spain ...

    Mission accomplished! Now you must pay this forward, by documenting your journey in turn.

    Prague to Geneva 2018

    I took the boat. It's a 50-50 split on whether to go north or south along the lakeshore. North side has a couple more towns, and views of the mountains to the south. South side offers shade and the incomparable Grand Hotel Giessbach, which was the template for one of my favorite movies, The...

    The British Pilgrimage Trust!!

    I haven't walked in the UK myself; I was citing info from my friend Roger, who walked from Shrewesbury to Santiago last year. He blogs extensively https://rogerbreakell.wordpress.com/2017/04/page/15/ I think he wild-camped (no campground) many nights. European campgrounds are different; more...

    The British Pilgrimage Trust!!

    I think prospective pioneers should contact the BPT. They have a prospective route mapped out; but they need pioneers to actually walk it, assess the markings and connections and interfaces with other footpaths and roadways, not to mention lodging availability and logistics. You would be...
