The reasons for embarking on a journey are as varied as the experiences along the way and the memories after returning: whether it's the desire to escape everyday life, to discover new things, or to see the seemingly familiar from a different perspective, or the challenge of pushing against previously unknown boundaries. Every year, thousands walk the most famous pilgrimage route in Europe, which also runs through Franconia. This volume is the ideal companion for the stretch from Hof to Ulm, from Upper Franconia to the Swabian Jura, whether the diverse stages are tackled as multi-day tours or as day trips. Overview maps and practical tips assist in preparation and orientation, and because evening entertainment in the pilgrim's bed is also essential, there are historical facts and descriptions of sights included as well.
