Join the pilgrims!

A pilgrimage is a journey to God, to the saints and to oneself. In the Middle Ages Cologne was a stopping-place for pilgrims and, thanks to its wealth of holy relics, a destination for pilgrimages too. Recent times have seen an unexpected renaissance of pilgrimage, and there is no need to go as far as Jerusalem, Rome or Santiago. In and around Cologne, too, you can discover pilgrimages. - The „Rome of the North“ A Pilgrims´ Way through Cologne - In the Footsteps of the Pilgrims to Santiago To the Marienfeld and on to Kerpen - From the Cradle to the Grave The Adolph Kolping Way
