Point to point
Long and varied stage of the Way of St. James.
The stage from Weitnau to Scheidegg is used equally by both the Bavarian-Swabian and the Munich Way of St. James, so this description serves both routes.
The route is quite long and begins hilly via Wilhams, Geratsried, Trabers and Genhofen into the municipality of Weiler-Simmerberg. There is a much-vaunted pilgrims' hostel in Scheidegg. Scheidegg also acts as a crossroads for the Bavarian-Swabian Pilgrims' Way, which continues to Lindau, as well as the mainland connection to Bregenz (A) and Rorschach (CH) from the Munich Way of St. James and the Swiss Pilgrims' Way network.
