About 124 kilometers from Lucerne over the Entlebuch and Emmental to Rüeggisberg – a moderate Swiss Way of St. James through gentle hill country, over Werthenstein, Willisau, Huttwil and Burgdorf to the gates of Bern.
A Way of St. James through wine country: about 157 kilometers from Koblenz along the Moselle to Trier – through vineyards, medieval villages and Roman history.
From the heart of Munich to Lake Constance: about 283 kilometers from Munich across the Bavarian Alpine foothills, the Pfaffenwinkel and the Allgäu to Lindau – a young but carefully reconstructed Way of St. James past monasteries, lakes and Rococo churches.
About 148 kilometers from Speyer Cathedral straight across the Palatinate Forest to Hornbach Abbey – the North Route of the Palatinate Ways of St. James, climbing along the Speyerbach through quiet forest valleys to the grave of Saint Pirmin.
About 62 kilometers from Porto straight to Braga – a little-walked variant of the Caminho Português Central that follows the early-medieval "original route" of Portugal's pilgrims by way of Bracara Augusta.
About 52 kilometers from Vidor to Vittorio Veneto along the ridges of the Prosecco Hills – a long-distance hiking trail through the UNESCO World Heritage landscape of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. Not a Way of St. James, but a wine-and-landscape route in the Veneto.
About 243 kilometers from the monastery town of Disentis over the Oberalp and Furka passes through the Valais Goms and along the Rhône to St. Maurice. An alpine Way of St. James through the source regions of three great rivers – with heights up to around 2,460 m.
Straight across Saxony: about 308 kilometers from Bautzen via Dresden, Chemnitz and Zwickau to Hof – the Saxon Way of St. James on the historic Frankenstraße, waymarked throughout with the shell.
From the Black Forest to Lake Zurich: about 112 kilometers from Blumberg over Schaffhausen, the Rhine Falls and Winterthur into the Zurich Oberland to Rapperswil – where the route meets the Via Jacobi.
