Kategorie: 2020 Münchner Jakobsweg

Today I started with my family and my friend T. One fun fact: The word Munich (München) is derived from monk (Mönch)… So Munich is a good starting point for a pilgrimage.
The guide book says, we walked 23 km. In Pullach there is a spring with drinking water and there are several inns but some are closed because of corona.

We were glad to arrive in Schäftlarn und ate at the Klosterbräustüberl. For sleeping we went home by S-Bahn.
I write this the next morning and my daughter J. says:“You are crazy to walk on so soon!“… and in some ways she is right, isn’t she?

There is a travel warning for Spain because of corona and so I canceled my flight to Spain for today.

So I start walking at my front door. Today only to the St. Jakobs Platz in the center of Munich. The church is closed, but I get my first stamp for my credential. Then I walk on to the Isartor…. about 9km.

It is strange, some things are so familiar and some things feel completely different, if I start a Camino from my home.
