Lübeck - Reinfeld

The cathedral and the Herz-Jesu Church are still in the fog

The cathedral - testimony of the former brick construction

Today's route largely follows the Trave. In Moisling, we have an opportunity to visit the largest Jewish cemetery in Schleswig-Holstein behind a brick wall. We will walk most of the route south of the Trave, but between Klein Wesenberg and Gross Wesenberg we switch to the northern side. Our stage ends in Reinfeld at the Matthias-Claudius Church on the hill.

Welcome greeting in Klein Wesenberg

Note(s)

The pilgrimage route along the southern shore of the Baltic Sea has various names, in Germany for example also "Baltic-Westphalian Way of St. James". From Poland eastwards, the term "Pomeranian Way of St. James" is common. In this documentation, we stick with the cross-border name "Via Baltica", partly due to the shortness of the name, and also because pilgrims to Rome or even Jerusalem can also use it.
