Via Cervimontana

The mysterious name denotes a route leading from Jelenia Góra to the World's End. The name derives not only from the picturesque remote in the Borowy Jar over the Bóbr River, but also from Cape Finisterrae (i.e. the end of the World as known to the Europeans of the Middle Ages) in Spanish Galicia. It is to the tomb of St. James Apostle in Santiago de Compostela that the routes help get pilgrims who head there from all parts of the continent and as they did for centuries… Via Cervimontana, i.e. Jelenia Góra Route, is one of such ways, which leads through some old tracks and paths from Jelenia Góra - the city celebrating its nonacentennial in 2008. Starting from the Holy Cross Church in Jelenia Góra it goes through the restored Old Town of Jelenia Góra and down in the Valley of the Bóbr River. It runs past the numerous traces of cultural heritage as well as the beautiful vistas of the Izery Upland as well as the Silesian and Lusatian borderland. There is among them St. James's medieval church in Radomice. After 55 km the trail connects to Lubań, where, before crossing the Kwisa River (once the boundary of the Lower Silesia and Upper Lusatia) it meets other Camino de Santiago trails traversing the area of Poland namely St. James's Route Gniezno-Zgorzelec-Prague and "Via Regia" St. James's Route.
