From Cluny, 240 kilometres and an astonishing 4,400 metres up and down into the Loire Valley. After Burgundy, which was spoilt by infrastructure, I arrived in a varied mountainous region far removed from tourists, which was perhaps hard to beat in terms of friendliness. Great people, wine bliss spirituality and wonderful nature meant there was never a dull moment. I also completed 2,000 kilometres from Berlin to Santiago on this stage, which I celebrated properly at Saint-Haon-le-Ch\u00e2tel. Even though I haven’t quite reached the pilgrim metropolis of Le Puy-en-Velay yet, I suspect that the lonely pilgrimage with its difficult but individually hospitable search for accommodation will soon come to an end. After Cluny, the highlights were great hosts: whether Marian sisters or private accommodation with a vineyard, everything was there. I even met two real pilgrims and a lovely ex-Berliner at the end of the route. But I also enjoyed the individual experience of my journey again. Was it the last reasonably lonely stage before the dreaded mass pilgrimage begins on the Via Podiensis?<\/p>\n
