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

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.

From Cologne Cathedral, the route takes the pilgrim along the "Jerusalem Way of the Kings" on to Jerusalem. The distance from Amsterdam to Jerusalem is about 6000 kilometers!

 

Marking: Partial marking from Dam in Amsterdam to the cathedral in Cologne has begun, and will be completed by the pilgrims marking the path together (status: January 2025). In this way, the pilgrims on the long path to Jerusalem are connected in give and take, paving the way for subsequent pilgrims. Only together can we establish the longest path of peace in the world, and peace always begins within us. See: menu Vision
