St Jacob's Trail

Follow in the footsteps of St Jacob on this pilgrim trail through Salzburg, into Bavaria then finishing in the pristine valley of St Johann in Tyrol. Visit historic churches which have been welcoming pilgrims for thousands of years as you walk through the foothills of the Alps. Meander through lush green valleys with dramatic mountain views and enjoy lakeside and forest walking. This is the perfect walk which explores this tranquil area and lets you discover the rich history of pilgrim life.

Your holiday starts by the side of Lake Wallersee where you spend your first evening. Heading south, you follow the trail through forest trails passing many important chapels to Salzburg. Its worth spending an extra night to explore ‘Mozart’s birth place.
