JAKOBSWEG - 800 Kilometer zu Fuß auf dem alten Pilgerweg nach Santiago de Compostela
Jakobsweg - 800 kilometers on foot along the old pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela
In Santiago de Compostela, in the far west of Spain, lies the tomb of the Apostle James according to legend. In the Middle Ages, millions of people braved the hardships and dangers of a long pilgrimage to pray here for the forgiveness of their sins.
Even today, people pilgrimage to the remains of the Saint. The Camino de Santiago embodies the great longing of our time: to take a break, leave the everyday behind, rediscover an ancient way of traveling, walk on foot and move forward under one's own power.
The pilgrim disconnects from the modern world for a while, lives very simply for a time, and finally goes with the flow of time - instead of, as usual, rushing breathlessly behind it. And regardless of whether someone walks the Camino for spiritual reasons, out of a sense of adventure, from cultural interest, or as a sporting challenge - whoever arrives in Santiago has become someone else, has grown and gained strength - both inner and outer.
The award-winning travel journalist Roland Marske has also walked the Spanish Camino: 800 km took him over the Pyrenees, through the endless expanse of the Castilian highlands and the green Galicia to the Atlantic coast. In the 39 days of his journey, he had the same specific experiences as pilgrims throughout all times: setting out, enduring pain, encountering loneliness, persevering, and finally arriving. Through long walking pushed to one's own limits, one experiences an inner liberation in the solitude and silence of nature that inevitably leads one deep into one's own soul.
Often, surprising stories are told by Roland Marske from his pilgrimage. Stories from a journey full of hardships, but also full of moments of joy, of the beauty and simplicity of pilgrimage, the closeness to nature, and the immediate contact with oneself. In addition, his impressive large-format panoramas showcase an almost unknown piece of Spain, which has little in common with the clichés of flamenco, beach, and Ballermann.
