Pilgrim advice
With experience and heart on the path
Pilgrimage opens up new paths – both externally and internally.
It fosters encounters, opens hearts and minds, and allows us to find ourselves a little closer with every step.
Whether you're planning a short leg or an extended pilgrimage – or perhaps you're already on your way:
Our experienced club members will gladly support you with advice, experience and heart.
Our pilgrimage advisory service offers you:
Personal tips on route selection, equipment and preparation
Information on hostels, stages and special features along the Way of St. James
Spiritual and practical support for your journey – before, during or after your pilgrimage
Our consultants have themselves traveled many routes to Santiago and other pilgrimage destinations in Europe.
They know the joy, the challenges – and the quiet happiness that this path brings.
If you have any questions or are simply looking for someone to listen, feel free to contact us.
We will take the time to address your concerns and look forward to accompanying you on part of your journey.
