Hello. I have the book, in English, by Annette Esser outlining the pilgrimage. I’ve also been looking through the website https://regio.outdooractive.com/oar-hildegardweg-naheland/de/

It shows the phases of the trail, and there is a section which shows accommodations. I have intended to come this September and do the whole trail in 10-11 days, carrying my clothing and staying in the local towns. Is this possible?
Thank you in advance for any information.

In reply to LisaWC.

Most of the trail info can be found on German tourist sites. There isn’t a lot of information in English yet. This is something that we are trying to work to make better for foreign tourism. For instance, most of the towns along the way don’t have any accomendations, so you need to string together places that do have that. And then use some car support to carry your luggage for you. There aren’t any camping or youth hostels like the Camino. Our German friend just wrote the following book which gives more details in terms of what taking a Hildegard pilgrimage is like, and how you can think about it: https://amzn.to/3cJc4Vm

Thanks for your site and the information. Several friends and I are interested in walk the Hildegard pilgrimage way, but we haven’t found much information about the nuts and bolts of making the walk–accommodations, guides, etc. Where might we look for more information? Thanks!
