The Jakobsweg Tirol-Allgäu
This alpine Jakobsweg route, which is very attractive both scenically and culturally, leads off the main roads over three Alpine passes, namely over the Fernpass, the old Gaichtpass and the Jochpass. It passes through some of the most attractive hiking and holiday areas of Tyrol and southern Upper Allgäu on ancient Roman, trade and pilgrimage routes.
Pilgrims on the Jakobsweg can undoubtedly look forward to a particularly impressive route here. All the more so because it mostly leads through rural, tranquil mountain regions where people have been deeply influenced for centuries by faith and fear of the forces of nature. Therefore, these regions are particularly rich in churches and chapels with numerous art-historical treasures, often from very different epochs. In combination with the magnificent panoramic views, the constantly changing perspectives and the meditative, sometimes strenuous hiking in wind and weather through these alpine natural landscapes, this "camino" becomes a sensory, unforgettable path, rich in intense experiences, encounters, experiences - and perhaps also new insights about oneself.
Connection to the network of Jakobswegs in Austria and Germany
The Jakobsweg Tirol-Allgäu connects in Stams to the German-Austrian Jakobsweg from Munich along the Isar, Loisach, Leutascher Ache and Inn as well as to the two Austrian Jakobswegs that unite in Innsbruck: the route from Lofer/Salzburg to Innsbruck and the route from Lienz to Innsbruck. From Innsbruck, this bundled Jakobsweg line continues via Stams to Arlberg or from Stams to the Tirol-Allgäu route.
Pilgrim stamps and pilgrim passport
In the Jakob chapels and the churches mentioned in the text, there are stamping stations along the Jakobsweg. These pilgrim stamps are nice souvenirs in one's own pilgrimage diary. In the internationally recognized pilgrim passport, they serve as proof of the completed route. The pilgrim passport also allows overnight stays in special pilgrim accommodations, which are still few on this route. It is available for a processing fee from the Jakob pilgrim communities.
