Lexicos,I’m interested to know if anyone on the Forum has walked from Berlin to Santiago in one go. And if you did, the route you followed and how long it took.
Thanks

Thank you ms. The thread has some good information in it. It’s a good start to some information.Lexicos,
While you are waiting for an answer here is a post to read which mentions such a trek.
Happy planning!
Thank you. GOS! You’ve sent me some very useful information.Berlin-Santiago in one go was always a dream of mine when I still lived there. Sadly it wasn't possible. Hope to read an account of someone who did do it!
It's a very long trek, so there probably won't be many who do it in one go.
Most Germans walking from home will walk it in parts over several years.
I plan to walk from home in one go next year. Estimated time frame 4,5 month + (I'm slow).
Home -Trier 3 weeks
Trier - Cluny 4 weeks
Cluny - le Puy 2 weeks
Le Puy - St. Jean 4-5 weeks
St Jean - Finisterre 5 weeks.
The part from Berlin would have added another 3-4 weeks (but my preferred route Berlin-Cologne wouldn't have followed the Jakobsweg).
Found this website that shows a possible route from Berlin

Ein privates Langzeitprojekt - Nach 3 Reisen auf den spanischen Jakobswegen und dem Einschnitt 2020 durch Corona möchte ich nun den Ursprünglichen Weg beginnen - also quasi direkt vor der Haustür. In einigen Etappen werde ich mich von Berlin auf den Weg machen, jedes Jahr ca 250 km. Dabei die...www.jakobsweg-berlin-santiago.de
Via imperii and via regia are nice. Depending where you continue from there, you'll have several options.
Happy planning!
Brilliant!Seems like a great plan !
This site may give you some idea about the possibilities in Germany:
For the first part, the following route seems to make sense (although it is a bit longer than walking via Frankfurt)
Berlin - Leipzig on the Via Imperii

Leipzig - Eisenach on the Via Regia

Eisenach - Marburg - Koln

Pilgrim infrastructure in Germany is not always so good, but on these routes there are quite a lot of albergues. I have walked from Gorlitz/Leipzig to Marburg (and hope to walk the Via Imperii next year)
When I was walking across Bavaria (in stages), one of my fellow pilgrims was from Paderborn, which is as close to Berlin as I am familiar with.from Berlin to Santiago
Thank you! I am quite intrigued, but think I need to finish Spain first, before exploring more of the German routes. I did very much enjoy walking in Germany.@Kitsambler: Paderborn for German standards is pretty far from Berlin. About 450 km
