In 2003, the European network of the Camino de Santiago reached the border between Germany and Poland in Zgorzelec, providing an important stimulus for the commencement of works on marking out the Way of St. James in Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the following year, a group of enthusiasts of the St. James\u2019s Trail and pilgrims from Poland who went on pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela proposed an idea to demarcate the first section of the Way of St. James in Poland on the Internet forum of the \u201cCamino de Santiago Polish Club\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project involved the marking out of the Polish Way (Camino Polaco), going from Ogrodniki (near the border between Poland and Lithuania) through Olsztyn, Toru\u0144, Gniezno and Pozna\u0144 to the border between Poland and Germany in S\u0142ubice. However, it took another several years to complete this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the Camino Polaco project, Camino pilgrims and worshippers of St. James in Lower Silesia and the G\u0142og\u00f3w Region came up with the idea to demarcate the so-called Lower Silesian Way of St. James, which runs from G\u0142og\u00f3w through Jakub\u00f3w to Zgorzelec (164 km). This route was marked in the period of 2004-2005 and it was officially opened on 24 July 2005 as the first Polish section of the Camino de Santiago. This initiated the spectacular development of St. James\u2019s Trails in Poland, resulting in 34 marked Polish sections of the Way of St. James, which together form the Camino de Santiago network of more than 6,100 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trail is at the same time a reconstruction of the historic north-south trade route: from Greater Poland through \u0141u\u017cyce to the Czech Republic. Even in the Middle Ages, trade routes called the \u201cAmber Road\u201d were created from the south of Europe to the Baltic Sea. On this route, the Polish state was established in the 10th century. One of the most important parts is the road leading from Greater Poland, through Silesia to Bohemia, called the north-south trade route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
