Pilgrimage is not only possible on the famous Camino de Santiago, but also on wonderful paths in Schleswig-Holstein! In this book, the author takes you along on her pilgrimage journey on the Monks' Way, which stretches for 342 kilometers from Glückstadt on the Elbe to Puttgarden on Fehmarn. It follows the routes of the first missionaries from about a thousand years ago, as the Monks' Way reflects the history of Christianization in northern Germany. Originally designed as a long-distance cycling route, the Monks' Way, with its well-developed paths, is also suitable for hikers who want to slow down and walk on spiritual paths. Those who follow the Monks' Way symbol with the open church door will pass through wonderfully diverse landscapes: the Elbe and the Stör rivers, the East Holstein Lake District, and finally the Baltic Sea with its beaches.
