Every journey begins with a first step ...

The Jerusalem Way is the world's longest pilgrimage and peace route

The Jerusalem Way connects religions and peoples in a unique peace project

The Jerusalem Way stands for respect and tolerance

JERUSALEM WAY / AL-QUDS WAY / JERUSALEMWEG / CAMINO DE JERUSALÉN / CHEMIN DE JÉRUSALEM / KUDÜS YOLU / VIA GERUSALEMME

 

>>> Walking together – across borders, towards peace <<

 

Love, the most powerful force in the universe, penetrates and illuminates everything and builds bridges between people. Pilgrims create openness to encounters, dismantle prejudices and fears, and strengthen trust - basic trust. The supposed boundaries between peoples and religions can be bridged by individuals with love and mutual respect.

 

"Walk in peace, as a bridge between nations."
(Jerusalem Way Spirit)
