Janjevo – Gjilan – Letnica – North Macedonia Border
From Janjevo, the Jerusalem Way leads through the rural south of Kosovo via the Gjilan area to Letnica. The Marian pilgrimage church with the Black Madonna has been a destination for pilgrims of various origins for centuries. In Letnica, the young Gonxha Bojaxhiu, later Mother Teresa, made her decision for a religious and missionary life. The route then continues through quiet villages and border landscapes into North Macedonia. This section makes the religious diversity and the peace-building power of pilgrimage particularly tangible.
