    The Jakobsweg Paderborn - Elspe is divided here into six stages. The first stage leads from Paderborn to Dahlheim Monastery, see photo. The second stage ends in Marsberg-Obermarsberg. There it leads to the Collegiate Church, see photo, the first church in Westphalia. The original church was built as a stone basilica by Charlemagne as early as 785. The third stage is planned up to Brilon, parking lot at the intersection B 251/L 870. The fourth stage leads to Bestwig-Heringhausen. From there it continues to Eslohe-Reiste to the Church of St. Pancras. The sixth and final stage takes us to our destination, the Jakobus Church in Lennestadt-Elspe.
