After a leisurely start to the first stage, the second day started much earlier. We were the first from our room to leave the accommodation. The morning was at its most beautiful and the view from the bridge, which we soon reached, was particularly impressive. The river and the steep rock faces offered a picturesque…
When we set off from our accommodation the next morning, we were greeted by beautiful weather. The day started promisingly and we first walked past the monastery of San Salvador in Cornellana, which was built in the 11th century and is known for its tranquil atmosphere. It was a beautiful moment to see the historic…
Today I’m taking you on a special tour through the northern Harz foreland – more precisely, to the diverse area around Halberstadt. This hike combines nature, history and magnificent views. Our route takes us over the Spiegelberge and Thekenberge mountains to the striking Klusfelsen rocks. Along the way, one highlight follows the next – and…
From Rieder, you can go on a short circular hike and connect several places worth seeing in the Harz Mountains. Firstly, the Gegensteine, which I have already told you about in my post about the hike on the Harz Devil’s Wall Trail, and secondly, Roseburg Castle. If you have the castles and palaces stamp booklet,…
The Harzer Teufelsmauerstieg runs along perhaps the most impressive rock formations in the Harz Mountains and captivates hikers and nature lovers alike. It stretches for around 20 kilometers from Blankenburg to Ballenstedt and offers spectacular views with its jagged sandstone formations. This unique natural monument is one of the oldest nature reserves in Germany and…
A rollercoaster of emotions over the last few kilometers Today I realized that I like the Way of St. James less and less with each passing day. What once began as an adventure is increasingly turning into a kind of fever dream of restaurants, souvenir stalls and former pilgrims selling their books, shells and other…
It was hard to leave our cozy, comfy camping barrel the next morning and make our way to our destination for today, O Pedrouzo. The sky was cloudy again and the rain pelted down on our hoods as we walked along the road towards Arzúa. GPS data of the hike on the Camino Primitivo From…
We set off again from Melide in a stream of pilgrims after enjoying a delicious breakfast in a local restaurant. Our stage was relatively short at just 12 km and took us to just before Arzúa. I wanted to take it easy on my knee, which fortunately caused no further problems. GPS data of the…
We had actually planned a longer day and I had even insisted on going all the way to Arzúa. But after our 21 km hike, my knee was bothering me again – even though the day had started so beautifully. From the hostel, the path led us through many small, cute clusters of houses that…
As we left Lugo, we crossed a picturesque bridge and passed a lake. Here we met our pilgrim acquaintance from the third day again – the couple who had tried to follow the road on the way to La Espina. GPS data of the hike on the Camino Primitivo The Camino Primitivo from Lugo From…
