Germany has a stage on the JERUSALEM WAY main route (this leads through the so-called "Kleine Deutsche Eck" - this stage is at the end of this page) and three feeder routes.
The three feeders are main routes in Germany, which, similar to a river system, flow into the main route in Linz on the Danube (Austria).
The routes from Cologne and Fulda come together at Donauwörth, there the paths lead over the Friedensbrücke and run together in the vicinity of the Danube via Regensburg to Passau. In Passau the path from Volkenroda / Waldsassen is added, now all three paths continue unified until they join the main route coming from Spain in Austria.

Current information from May 2021
In Germany, all geodata (GPS) for the three main routes are now set!
Route description: A footpath leads from Cologne via Mainz, Worms and Speyer through the Kraichgau to the Neckar, where it leads via Stuttgart and Esslingen to the Kaiserbergen with the Hohenstaufen and from there around the Ostalb and over the European watershed into the Ries and to Donauwörth. There he meets the way from Fulda! The Jerusalemweg route coming from Fulda leads via Würzburg to Donauwörth, from where both continue together to Passau, where the third route from Volkenroda over the green belt and Waldsassen monastery combines with the other two routes (Cologne and Fulda) .
The three paths are based on long stretches of tried and tested hiking and pilgrimage routes, such as the Rheinsteig, The Martinusweg, which Via Romea or the Via Porta.
The selection of the paths and, in some cases, the deviations from these partner routes were revised according to historical connections to historically documented departures and references to Jerusalem and according to the peculiarities of the Jerusalem pilgrimage routes.
The data for the Jerusalemweg Fulda is currently being checked and then parallel pilgrimage routes for cyclists are being determined. Further access routes are to follow later. The work, which has not yet been completed, is done through the active participation of several pilgrims.
