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.

The combination of the Tharandt Forest and the Way of St. James is fantastic.

Info:

The Saxon Way of St. James leads through the Tharandt Forest, where you also cross the Holy Way, another historic pilgrimage route.

The Saxon Way of St. James is part of the European network of the Ways of St. James, which converge in Santiago de Compostela.
