    Hiking

    7 such milestones mark the "Adolph Kolping Pilgrimage Trail" from Cologne to Kerpen. It was set up for the Pope's visit in 2005 to guide tens of thousands of guests to Marienfeld as smoothly as possible t1p.de/ql4je . But half of the 24 km run in the noise corridor along the motorways. That's why I can't recommend the trail.

    Hiking

    Blessed ADOLPH KOLPING (1813 to 1865) was a Catholic priest and is known as the "journeyman's father". Before studying and being ordained as a priest, he had been a shoemaker's journeyman himself and knew the needs of wandering (and thus homeless) journeymen. As a chaplain in Elberfeldt (now a district of Wuppertal), he got to know a "youth club" founded by teacher Johann Gregor Breuer, recognized the potential and was transferred to the cathedral city of Cologne. From here he founded the "Catholic journeyman's clubs", today's Kolping families.
