Walking the Way of Saint James is one of the most beautiful ways for you to get to know Slovakia. The Slovak route begins in Košice and continues westwards up to Bratislava. But it does not end there. You can walk all the way to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain.
A lively community of pilgrims and wonderful open-hearted people has gathered around the Way of St. James in Slovakia. They are represented by the civic association Friends of the Way of St. James in Slovakia. The association has become the meeting point for pilgrims to exchange information and advice as well as to organise presentations, pilgrimages and many other activities.
If you also love walking, hiking, getting to know yourself better and admiring the natural and cultural beauties of our Slovakia, join our Facebook group and follow us on Instagram. We are looking forward to seeing you join our next pilgrimage or meeting in your city.
The Way of Saint James in Slovakia has come true thanks to the work of volunteers from all over the country. Join us and help us develop and improve it.
Do you provide services near or along the Way of Saint James? Become one of our partners and welcome pilgrims in your establishment. For more information, please contact us.
With its mountains, valleys, rivers, forests, medieval towns, churches, ruins, castles, chateaux, Slovakia is the perfect country for rural tourism. It needs very little to make it happen. Creating an effective marking system and a dense network of facilities pilgrims can sleep and eat at can make all this natural and cultural heritage available to everybody.
Pilgrimages combine physical, mental and spiritual well-being with sustainable regional development.
Your contribution will make a difference.

In Central Europe we have become the right hand of the Spanish Federation of Friends of the Way of Saint James, which has brought together all local and regional Camino organisations in Spain since 1987.
We highly appreciate the fact that the Episcopal Conference of Slovakia has not only approved and blessed our project, but also chosen us from among all Camino initiatives in the country to be the only organisation the different dioceses are to cooperate with in this respect.
We are a civic association whose goal is to renew and promote the Way of Saint James in Slovakia. Our members work daily to restore this ancient route for modern pilgrims seeking spiritual renewal as well as wanting to get to know themselves better and discover the natural and cultural treasures of our country
