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.
