Who is behind the route
The Frënn vum Camino de Santiago de Compostela – the "Friends of the Camino" – are Luxembourg's St. James association. Founded in 2004 and based in Grevenmacher on the Moselle, they work closely with St. James associations at home and abroad and are a member of the European federation Camino Europa Compostela.
The association has waymarked the Way of St. James right across the Grand Duchy. It deliberately laid it on existing walking trails maintained by the tourist regions – from the Ösling in the north via Echternach and the Moselle to Schengen.
The association's route
- Jakobsweg Luxemburg – the whole route: 177 km from the Europe monument at the tri-border point near Ouren via Vianden, Echternach, Grevenmacher, Luxembourg City and Dudelange to Schengen
What the association does for pilgrims
The association issues the pilgrim passport, waymarks and maintains the route and posts current diversions on its website. With events it makes the Way of St. James known in Luxembourg and helps pilgrims prepare. In Schengen the route connects with the ways from Trier to Le Puy and to Vézelay.
