Tips from the Community

JakobusPilger
May 15, 2026, Cross on Kalbberg

Even though this small sacred monument is not located on the famous Way of St. James through northern Spain, given the wayside cross/crucifix standing here, perhaps some thoughts from Hape Kerkeling might be helpful as inspiration. The entertainer, famous primarily in Germany, walked the Camino Frances in 2001 and kept a diary, which was published under the title "Ich bin dann mal weg" (I'm off then). He describes his personal encounter with God on the journey as follows: "Yesterday something struck a huge gong within me. And the sound will reverberate. Sooner or later, this path shakes everyone to their core. I know the sound will slowly fade, but if I prick up my ears, I will be able to perceive this echo for a very long time."

Small lake at the foot of the Kalbberg. Unfortunately, the water is rather brackish.
