This is incredible. As soon as I am on my way, a youg pilgrim rushes past me. I have no idea which race he wants to win. Of course I did set out at a more moderate speed, but hey, that really triggered some lines of thought. That‘s…
The Via Francigena, also known as Frankenweg, are paths, which pilgrim used for travelling from France or England to Rome, specifically tot he graves of Paul and Peter. A well famous is the name Via Romea, which also leads over smaller routes o Rome.
The today officially calles Via Francigena, sorts itself out through the information of archbishop Siegrich of Canterburry, who 990 a.c travelled this way to Rome.
The Via Francigena stretches from England through France till Switzerland. After this you will cross the huge St.Bernhard into the Aostal, coming from Lausanne. A special highlight is a hospice on top of the St.Bernhard, but as well the rest of the cities have a lot of charm. A great journey to be alone with yourself, find new people and see some new landscapes. Accommodation is quite easy to find. And there are a lot of hotels and BnB on the way.
