pilgrimage path
Holy walking route
A pilgrimage path is a route traditionally traveled by religious devotees journeying to a sacred site or shrine.
These paths, such as the Camino de Santiago in Spain or the routes to Canterbury in England, often developed over centuries and may include designated waypoints, hostels, and churches.
The term extends to secular contexts where people follow historic or meaningful routes: We walked the pilgrimage path our ancestors took through the mountains.
