Jakobsweg Flensburg - Cologne - part 1 from Krusau (DK) to Osnabrück
The Jakobsweg from the Danish border to Osnabrück follows in the first section the Via Jutlandica (western branch) and the Via Baltica from Harsefeld. Many parts of the Via Jutlandica coincide with the old Ochsenweg. More information is available on my blog at " http://gerhard.mlq.me ". The individual daily stages represent my personal route selection, which sometimes differs from the "official" marking. Have a good route! Buen Camino!
