Oberpfälzisch-Fränkische Jakobsweg

The Way of St. James is the path of knowledge, a way to oneself. Nowadays, more and more people are searching for a way to escape from the hectic everyday life. Slowing down, finding peace, recharging - that is especially possible while piligriming. The Oberpfalz-Franconian Way of St. James extends over a total of 170 kilometers in about ten to fifteen stages from Tillyschanz (CZ) to Nuremberg.

Perhaps the most beautiful section of the Oberpfalz-Franconian Way of St. James is the route from Schwandorf in Oberpfalz to Nuremberg, the largest city in Franconia. Over 123 kilometers, you walk here in six stages through the Oberpfalz Forest, the Bavarian Jura, and the Nuremberg region. The pilgrimage journey through nature, past monasteries, churches, and castles provides a good impression of the significance that pilgrimage had for people in the Middle Ages.
