Directions

The Way of St. James comes from Esslingen am Neckar and leads from Tübingen as the Beuron Way of St. James, first via Rottenburg am Neckar , Hechingen and Balingen through the Bäratal via Nusplingen to Beuron . The Archabbey of Beuron has a pilgrims office and also provides spiritual support for pilgrims. From there, the path continues via Meßkirch to Wald ( Kloster Wald ). Alternatively, you can also make a pilgrimage from Hechingen on the Hohenzollern Way of St. James via Burladingen , Veringenstadt and Sigmaringen to Meßkirch. The path then leads to Wald, where it divides again. You then go on the Linzgauer Jakobsweg via Pfullendorf and Überlingen to Konstanz or the Hegauer Jakobsweg via Stockach and Markelfingen to Konstanz. The Mauritius rotunda at Constance Minster was the destination of countless pilgrims in the Middle Ages; and an important stopover for others. The pilgrims on the Upper Swabian Way of St. James from Ulm also came here and gathered. From there the Schwabenweg continues to the Maria Einsiedeln monastery .

Creation and project group

The path was revived as a European path as part of a project by the Europa-Zentrum Tübingen / Stuttgart and since 2004 has been signposted and made pilgrimages by a project group under the moderation of the Benedictine monk Brother Jakobus Kaffanke OSB from the Beuron Archabbey.

Since 2008 the open Beuron Jacob pilgrim community has been established, which records the church and cultural testimonies and supports the pilgrims in planning and carrying out their trips with advice, tips, pilgrimage IDs and accompaniment.

The section between the Neckar and Lake Constance in Santiago de Compostela has been recognized since 2009 .
