The Way of St. James from Fulda to Mainz follows the course of the Via Regia, as does the ecumenical pilgrimage route.
So you are on the route of an old trade route, which pilgrims also walked in the Middle Ages.
The path is consistently marked with the European shell sign.
The section from Mainz via Heidesheim, Ingelheim, Gau-Algesheim to Bingen is part of the Rheinhessen Way of St. James and is also marked with the shell.
From Bingen to Trier you are on the ″Ausoniusweg″, which led back to Roman times as a trade and pilgrimage route across the Hunsrück.
Since 2013 it has been signposted as the "Hunsrück Way of St. James" with the scallop shell.
From Trier you can then continue to Metz and to Vézelay or Le Puy.(Source: jakobswege-europa.de)
