Jakobsweg

A Protestant pastor leaves his church community in Hamburg during a professional sabbatical to embark on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. This time, however, he rides on his BMW Enduro. During this 40-day journey along the ancient pilgrimage routes, he travels 7,000 kilometers across Europe to Finisterre, at the end of the medieval world. He experiences solitude and heavenly moments. He discovers a boundless Europe and has many encounters with a variety of people. He also collects his thoughts and takes a personal inventory at the heights of life. This book serves as a roadbook for motorcyclists, a travelogue for the Camino de Santiago, and a contemporary document about Europe from the perspective of a passionate Christian.
