What is /out/s verdict on pilgramages? I am planning to do the Via Romea (North Germany to Rome) next year, mostly due to spiritual reasons, but also to get used to extended hikes. I've been mostly been doing day hikes and the occasional overnight.
Anything I should look out for?

There's no /out/ verdict, some like some hate it.
I've done the Camino de Santiago multiple times on different paths and always had a great time, it's easy walking but it's nice to meet people and maybe share the experience with others.

I had no interest whatsoever on the spiritual part but as the kilometers go by and you come across the history of the place you kinda feel sympathetic towards the people who do it for that reason.

Advice is always the same, comfortable footwear.

This looks like it'd be a good time. Any idea on how much time you'd devote to it?

About three months. It'll all depend on how good I can keep up my pace in the alps. On flat (-ish) ground I can do 30-40km a day, but I haven't done any long hikes in the mountains.

I'm considering doing something similar, albeit in a different location. training for this sort of event seems pretty difficult because it cant be accurately emulated, but moreso, in non civilised areas im really not sure about food and water management

I think you've been reading too much Paulo Coelho.

>Are they good
The one I read was well written. It's not really my favorite genre and I really only read it because a girl I was into was very into his books.
One of his most famous books is called "The Pilgrimage" and has inspired hoards of people to take .. well, you get the idea there.
His books are beloved by "spiritual" adult females... I only ever read the one though.

I don't like it, too civilized, too much roadwalking.

No. Very naive person. His books are geared towards children (and manchildren).

Weird way to say women. Also, beta cucks, not manchildren. Manchildren read Warhammer and star wars.

it's called the Hajj and the Muslims on this site spend most of their time shitting up /pol/.
Hajies has been a racial slur in the military for decades and I got it second hand.

so you have to go to mecca once in a lifetime, but you have to go during a specific date? what happens if you go at a different time?
