Itinerary

Below is our pro­posed itin­er­ary. Many of the stop­ping places are small vil­lages or even ham­lets, so I’ve included the larger towns on-route or nearby.

This sched­ule will likely change some­what before we leave, and while we adjust it on-route. Stay tuned to our progress posts for more exact esti­mate of our arrival in any given place.

If you want more spe­cific route infor­ma­tion, visit our maps page, where each day’s jour­ney is indi­cated in dis­tinct colors.

A very inter­est­ing itin­er­ary!
But Bre­genz and Rankweil are not sit­u­ated in Tirol, but in Vorarlberg.

I just heard about your pil­grim­age and have enjoyed read­ing about your expe­ri­ences. Thanks for all the hard work you’re putting into post­ing. They’ve brought back a lot of mem­o­ries, espe­cially the rain, closed restau­rants and won­der­ful mush­rooms. Ha! I walked a peace pil­grim­age from France to Jerusalem in 2006 through part of your route, and we spent last sum­mer cross­ing the Alps from Tri­este to Monaco on the Via Alpina–again, fol­low­ing part of your route (with, inci­den­tally, enough rain to float an ark).
I see you’re pass­ing through Vaduz. There’s a hos­tel there, but you may want to check out the camp­site with bun­ga­lows just out­side town, tucked beside the moun­tains. It’s very accommodating.
Remem­ber, fall is just around the cor­ner. It’s a great time to walk the Via Fran­ci­gena. The col­ors of Tus­cany and around Lake Bolseno will be fan­tas­tic. Be sure to sam­ple the mush­rooms in Pontremoli!
God speed to you both and Ultreya! (from another crazy Wilson)!

From Pas­tor Kruse in Rome I heard of your Pilgrimage.I met him,when I arrived on 28.09.2010 in Rome,having made nearly the same way like you do.I started at 29.06.2010 in Luther­stadt Wit­ten­berg fol­low­ing the same itin­er­ary with one exception:from Pavia I went the Via Emilia up to Bologna,crossing the Appenin between Bologna and Flo­rence ( Via degli Dei),then Siena.The part between Siena and Rome I fol­lowed the Francigena.Here you will find lots of Pil­grim hos­tels of very dif­fer­ent quality,the one in Radicofani(Don Elia) is fantastic.The same is true for the Cen­tro di spir­i­tu­alita S.Lucia Fil­ip­pini in Montefiascone.Speaking with Suor Teresa (who is the Pri­ora) about my pil­grim­age in memo­riam of Luthers way to Rome I was very astonished,when she asked me:“Oh for Mar­tin Luther King?“This con­fu­sion I have found sev­eral times,obviously there is a “black hole” in the tra­di­tion of eccle­si­as­tic his­tory in Italy .Also in augus­tin­ian monas­ter­ies I found very dif­fer­ent reactions:in Pavia,at the tomb of Augusti­nus in my impres­sion they did not like the Mem­ory of Luther,whereas for exam­ple in Florence,Santo Spirito,the monk,whom I asked for a stamp in my pil­grims card,was very inter­essed and told me,that Luther had cel­e­brated the holy mass at Santo Spirito.Also at S.Maria del Popolo in Rome,where my pil­grim­age ended,I found a very friendly reac­tion.
I will fol­low your fur­ther way to Rome,may The Lord be with you as He was with me on my long journey(90 days with­out any problem!)
