Holy Way


The Holy Way came about as a result of the canonization of Bishop Benno of Meissen. It led from Bohemia to Meissen and ran between Grillenburg and Wilsdruff in the present-day district of Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge in the opposite direction and parallel with the Saxon St. James' Way. Original sections of the route have survived, for example in the Tharandt Forest between Grillenburg and Spechtshausen.
