Heidenstrasse, centuries-old military and trade route from Leipzig to Cologne, in the Middle Ages also a pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.

The grave of St. James in northwestern Spain has been the destination of countless pilgrims since the Middle Ages.

Many roads lead to the pilgrims' meeting point in Cologne with a connection to Santiago de Compostela, e.g. the highway Leipzig - Kassel - Cologne, also called Heidenstraße in the Sauerland and Bergisches Land, as well as the Paderborn Königsweg / Heerweg from Paderborn to Elspe on the Heidenstraße.

The two historical pilgrimage routes Heidenstrasse and Paderborn Königsweg / Heerweg are not staged, but historical adventure trails with an unmistakable landscape, history and tradition
The yellow James shell on a blue background shows the way.

29 pilgrim / path stones between Korbach and Overath-Immekeppel indicate strategically important points along the course of the historical route and tell of the history of the respective location.
