The path is the true destination, and the destination is the path - this old saying certainly holds true for the Palatinate pilgrimage route. It starts on a high note at the imperial cathedral in Speyer, which gives a first indication of how the soul is going to be awakened and enriched over the miles to follow, while every step and each of the six stages bring the pilgrim closer to the tomb of St. James the Apostle.
