Der Camino de Invierno: Unterwegs auf dem "geheimen Jakobsweg"

For all pilgrims who find the crowds on the Camino Francés too overwhelming these days: here's a still relatively unknown alternative – the Camino de Invierno. This winter route is one of the oldest and leads from Ponferrada to Santiago de Compostela. So far, the route – despite its long history – remains relatively uncrowded. The infrastructure is constantly improving, and in terms of scenery, it's most comparable to the Camino Primitivo. Only in Santiago itself do you encounter the main flow of pilgrims, so there's no "shock moment" just before the end.
