The so-called southern route takes pilgrims from the hilltop in Bergkirchen through the Wiehengebirge mountains to Schnathorst. From here, you cross the ridge path to the north side of the Wiehen and reach Gehlenbeck. Wide views to the south into the Ravensberg hills and to the north into the North German Plain reward the pilgrim on his ascents and descents in the Wiehengebirge.
The so-called northern route leads through flat landscapes characterized by small villages, meadows and fields on mostly asphalted side paths. From here, the alternative route through the Great Peat Bog is signposted.
