On the Franconian Way of St. JamesPilgrimage was in the Middle Ages the form of walking that believers undertook voluntarily despite the associated dangers. Two routes lead from the Nuremberg Church of St. James to Santiago de Compostela. The signs in front of the church tell us the distances that once lay ahead of the pilgrims: 2750 km via Eichstätt, 2804 km via Rothenburg. Our suggested hiking route follows the longer path (Middle Franconian Way of St. James) for two reasons: firstly, because this route was marked in 1995 on the initiative of the Protestant pastor Paul Geißendörfer as the first in the Nuremberg region, and secondly, because significant sacred buildings stand at the beginning and end of the stage.

    Wir sind die Tour ab Bürglein im Uhrzeigersinn gewandert, übrigens ohne den westl. Part, also beim Abzweig Großhabersdorf direkt zurück. Wir fanden die Tour recht schön, sind etwa 12,5 km. Der Weg geht übrigens durchgehend auf markierten Routen. Parken kann man in Bürglein am Friedhof.

    Dies war unsere 1te Tour mit Outdoor Aktiv. Zum Kennenlernen der App haben wir uns ne Runde um die Heimat ausgesucht. Die Wanderung war wirklich sehr schön, wir sind sogar Wege gegangenen, die wir noch gar nicht kannten. Einige Rehe und Hasen haben wir unterwegs auch gesehen. Wir haben die Tour sogar in unter 4 Stunden geschafft (3 Std. 52 Min.). Die Navigation war auch ganz einfach. Allerdings hatten wir zum Handy noch ein GPS Gerät dabei. Nur mit dem Handy ist es wegen Empfangs Schwierigkeiten nicht möglich die Tour ordentlich zu beenden. Empfehlen möchte ich, zum Einkehren, noch Willis Wirtshaus in Wendsdorf. Da läuft man direkt dran vorbei. Echt urige Dorfkneipe mit sehr günstigen Preisen.
