    The Saxon Way of St. James in the Tharandt Forest.

    Information:

    It leads through the Tharandt Forest, where it also intersects the Holy Way, another historic pilgrimage route. The Saxon Way of St. James is part of the European network of pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela, which all converge there.
    Translated by
    The Saxon Way of St. James on the Frankenstraße branches off from the Via Regia in Bautzen near the Hammermühle and leads about 300 km via Bischofswerda, Dresden, Freiberg, Chemnitz, Zwickau and Oelsnitz/V. to Hof. Variants start in Königsbrück, Jahnsdorf and Annaberg Buchholz. It runs a bit through the Tharandter Forest on the way to or from Freiberg.
