More than 40 long hiking trails are listed on the web portal. Frankenweg a medieval pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Rome, which is experiencing its rebirth in Italy is also listed. More and more people from all over Europe are hiking on the 2,000-kilometre route to the Eternal City.
The Via Francigena, which is also part of the Slow Tourism movement, leads from Canterbury and then via Reims, Besancon, Lausanne, through the Aosta Valley and Siena to the burial place of the Apostles Peter and Paul in Rome. The path was one of the three major routes that led Christians to Rome, Santiago de Compostela or Jerusalem.
Along the Via Francigena, considered one of the first major roads in Europe, pilgrims can admire a wealth of monuments, ruins and palaces. Seekers, power walkers or bikers come the long way. One fifth of the pilgrims are young people under 30, especially students and scouts.
