Jakobsweg Landeck–Einsiedeln, Long-distance pilgrimage trail from Landeck to Einsiedeln

The Jakobsweg Landeck–Einsiedeln is a 197-kilometre signposted section of the Austrian Way of St. James. It begins in Landeck in Tirol, runs through the Stanzer Tal and over the Arlberg into Vorarlberg, leaves Austria near Feldkirch or Rankweil, and continues through Liechtenstein or directly into Switzerland to Einsiedeln. A variant runs from Satteins via Feldkirch, Schellenberg and Liechtenstein to Gams and Wildhaus.

The route was developed through a transnational LEADER+ project completed in 2008, with Regionalentwicklung Vorarlberg taking the lead on the Austrian side. It linked existing Way of St. James paths from western Tyrol across Vorarlberg and the Swiss cantons of Appenzell and St. Gallen into one continuous signed trail. The paths follow existing hiking routes, some identical to historic trade and pack-animal tracks.

The route crosses the Austrian-Italian language border: it starts in Landeck in Tyrol, crosses the Arlberg into Vorarlberg, and leaves Austria between Meiningen and Oberriet. In St. Peterzell it joins the Via Jacobi, the so-called Swabian Way from Konstanz/Rorschach to Einsiedeln. A variant runs from Satteins via Feldkirch, Schellenberg and Liechtenstein to Gams and Wildhaus, joining the Appenzell route at Wattwil.

The route runs 197 km from Landeck in Tirol over the Arlberg and through Vorarlberg, leaving Austria between Meiningen and Oberriet. A variant goes via Feldkirch, Schellenberg and Liechtenstein to Gams and Wildhaus. The paths are signposted and partly follow historic trade and pack-animal routes; the main branch joins the Schwabenweg at St. Peterzell.

The route is a cross-border project: a LEADER+ programme completed in 2008 linked existing Ways of St. James from western Tyrol through Vorarlberg and the Swiss cantons of Appenzell and St. Gallen into one continuous signed path. Regional development bodies and trail planners from Austria and Switzerland took part.
