Hi Bob, don't know if that helps but I bought guide books in Germany and Austria : the 'Danube bike trail'. They're spiral-bound, longish little guides, the map was useful to judge the distances and they also listed accommodation. I think there were at least three so I didn't keep them (too much weight).
I found the first one in a Tourist information office but just checked and found them on Amazon.
Book 1: https://www.amazon.com/dp/3850006174/?tag=casaivar02-20
The way itself is well sign-posted (Jacobsweg) but the distances are sometimes fantasist (if you're walking).
Walked the other way, it does lead you to Santiago. The only pilgrim I met was on that route, walking from Prague and aiming for...Santiago!
Thx, Domigee, especially for troubling to find a weblink for the Danube bike trail book. These books look interesting. And they are spiral bound. Why aren't all guidebooks spiral bound?
After walking from Rome to Bari last year, I swore that was it for me as a long distance walker; but the obsession has come back, drat it..
Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is also unfinished business. I found a supported guided tour that has useful ideas about stages and places to stay: http://aufgangtravel.com/travel-tours/walking-tour-tel-aviv-to-jerusalem
Best wishes for your own walks.

I couldn't (quickly) find a guide available on this site, but this interactive map might be of some use. . . . . . . EDIT: just found out that you can get pretty much everything you need out of the two links above. GPX data files, Google KML files and Garmin MapSource downloads are available for every stage, and I also found .PDF way descriptions (including detailed maps). Text is German, but the maps are all you need. Accommodation listings here.
Oh, I'm sure I could gather enough info. to help you for the walk Tel-viv to Jerusalem! You may not know but my blog was lost.... Have to rely on memorybut maybe my walking partner is best bet in that respect!
Still, ask if you need it.
Best wishes Bob!
The main Jakobsweg route through Austria is covered in this guidebook from the excellent Conrad-Stein-Verlag "little yellow book" line: https://www.conrad-stein-verlag.de/...tml?startIndex=40&endIndex=50&t=1492439405805 There are a few other Austrian routes covered by Conrad-Stein titles, but my limited knowledge of Austrian geography isn't helping me point you to the right one. In addition to being available from the publisher, amazon.de carries them.probably from Oberhofen in Austria to St Johann.
Yes, Conrad-Stein publishes in German for the German-speaking audience in Europe. Maps and graphics are an international language, however, and it takes only a few words of German to decipher the listings of lodgings and services (about as much as the level of French necessary to decipher Miam Miam Dodo).@Kitsambler
Seems al to be in the German language (except one for the CF).

Step by step...follow your instincts, all will be fine
Go for it...I'm stuck at home with my back (almost 2 months), but I have time (retired)
