pilgrimage trail
Holy walking path
A pilgrimage trail is a route traditionally traveled by pilgrims to reach a sacred site.
The Camino de Santiago in Spain and the Kumano Kodo in Japan are famous examples.
These paths often have historical, spiritual, or cultural significance, with established waypoints, lodging, and rituals along the way.
Modern travelers may walk them for religious devotion, personal reflection, or simply the physical challenge: We spent three weeks on the pilgrimage trail.
