Resumen de Pilgrimage routes from Central Europe and Scandinavia towards Jerusalem and Santiago de Compostela
This chapter outlines the historical and modern development of religious pilgrimage routes and trails that have for centuries led pilgrims from Central Europe and Scandinavia to Jerusalem. Based on a detailed inventory and evaluation of sacral buildings, as well as an analysis of source materials and regional traditions and surveys among pilgrims (and tourists), a picture of the spatial distribution and diversity of marked and unmarked religious tourism trails to Jerusalem has been constructed. The picture also includes the network of St James' ways to Santiago de Compostela, which is being expanded each year.
