We are very pleased that the book about "her" Jerusalem Way was published in 2024! Rosanna started her journey on the Jerusalem Way in Switzerland in 2018. Through wind and weather, she traveled via Austria and Hungary toward the Balkans. The many impressions along...

"I walked to Jerusalem." Whenever I say or think this sentence, whenever I dream of it, everything is immediately there again. 5,200 km, once for 4 months (2022) and once for 3.5 months (2023), took me from my hometown of Koblenz/Rhine to the geographical destination...

I grew up in Brazil, but now I live and work in Switzerland. My biggest dream as a child was to travel the world. But I saw it as something unattainable. In my mind, only very rich people could travel. And then I just set off. Two years ago, I made my first pilgrimage...

I am a pilgrimage guide and route sponsor for the "Via Romea" and live in Stade (Germany). After the Camino de Santiago, I went on a pilgrimage in stages from Stade via Mainz to Rome starting in 2009 together with my friend from Mainz. From there, I set out alone on...

Ten years ago (at 63), I pilgrimaged in one go from St. Wolfgang in Upper Bavaria (Germany) all the way to Jerusalem. Before that, I had never pilgrimaged or hiked for more than a day. The idea for the Jerusalem Way pilgrimage was sparked in me at Easter 2012 by the...
