The Way of St. James is the path of enlightenment, a journey to oneself. Nowadays, more and more people are looking for a way to escape the hectic everyday life. Slowing down, finding peace, recharging – this is especially possible while pilgrimaging.

Wallenstein’s Camp and the green cloverleafThese two markers take turns guiding us about halfway through this tour. In 1632, the imperial commander Albrecht von Wallenstein had the largest military encampment in world history erected just outside the gates of Nuremberg to stand up to the Swedish troops under King Gustav II Adolf. The camp stretched across the area now occupied by the towns of Zirndorf, Oberasbach, and Stein, and for 70 days housed around 80,000 people and 15,000 horses. The Battle of the Alte Veste ended in a stalemate; there was no victor. For the local population at the time, however, the fighting—along with the accompanying looting and epidemics—was devastating. To this day, Wallenstein’s camp has left its mark on the landscape. The cloverleaf, on the other hand, represents the Fürth Nature Trail, which winds through the Fürth and Zirndorf municipal forests. The clear highlights along the trail are the old quarry sites, where Burgsandstein was quarried for centuries. All in all, it’s an extremely diverse tour—one you wouldn’t necessarily expect to find right in the middle of an urban metropolitan area.

    Der Marsch in und um Nürnberg war Klasse. Nachdem das für mich Premiere war am Stück 50km zu laufen fand es natürlich auch spannend wo man seine persönliche Grenze hat. Aber der Teamspirit lässt einen einfach durchziehen. Schade fand ich das nach dem Zieleinlauf der Eindruck aufkam geht schnell nach Hause, wir wollen zusperren. Mir war auch nicht klar das in dem Wanderpass ein zweiter Stempel abzuholen ist. Ehrlich gesagt habe ich auch keine Station gesehen an der stand: "hier kannst du dir den Stempel abholen". Schade... Sonst war der Tag perfekt und ich würde das jedem empfehlen der gesundheitlich dazu in der Lage ist 💪

    Super Organisation, eine Erfahrung die mal jeder machen sollte um sein inneren Schweinehund zu überwinden und über seine Grenzen zu gehen. Das ist auch eine Motivation für das restliche Leben, ein Beweis dass man alles schaffen kann. Gestern dachte ich noch nie wieder heute Plane ich schon das nächste mal.

    Es war eine schöne Herbstwanderung. Start ind VPs sehr gut organisiert. Wir sind am vp3 ausgestiegen da wir zum ersten Mal gelaufen sind und ich mit den Schuhen Probleme bekam. Nur dass man von da mit teuren Taxi zurück musste, fanden wir nicht gut und ich finde es müsste ab da auch einen Ziel Einlauf geben..ist auch eine grosse Leistung, 30 km zu gehen. Aber ich komme wieder...

    Super Event. Ich war das erste mal dabei und mach bestimmt wieder mit. Ich möchte mich auch nochmal bei meinen beiden Freunden aus Ingolstadt und Kaiserlautern bedanken, die mich so toll die letzten 5km begleitet haben und mich unfassbar motiviert haben durchzuhalten. Vielen Dank auch an alle Helfer. Es war grandios und der Muskelkater verdient🤝

    Eine wunderschöne Strecke, perfektes Wetter und hochmotivierte, gut gelaunte Teilnehmer - war klasse! Die Verpflegungsstationen waren top, die Helfer überragend. Danke dafür! Beim Zieleinlauf hat bisschen die Stimmung gefehlt finde ich. Das war etwas schade. Freuen uns aufs nächste Mal 👍
