In ancient times the practice of pilgrimage, which lasted until the beginning of the nineteenth century, was a mass phenomenon that affected millions of people throughout Europe.

The "Via Romea" in history have been many, different from each other according to the starting points, the conditions of the roads, the presence of dangers, including brigandage.

A fundamental discriminator was above all the possibility of finding shelter in safe places, such as the ecclesiastical and monastic orders.

The Via Romea Germanica is one of the many itineraries designed as "Via Melior" in the thirteenth century for pilgrims from Northern Europe, since the altitudes of the Brenner and the Serra are in fact the lowest and safest passes to travel.

This route will allow you to walk through some very suggestive places, starting from the largest lake in central Italy, the Trasimeno, to get to Lake Bolsena, one of the most fascinating of the territory.
