First Steps

In early 2018, the first route drafts were created. The original starting and finishing points were planned to be the Nordertor in Flensburg and the Imperia statue in Konstanz.Back then, the trail also passed through the Teutoburg Forest.
But something was still missing — a name, a deeper idea.In its initial form, the route felt too similar to the German section of the European Long-Distance Trail E1.
