Jakobsweg Main-Taubertal, Long-distance pilgrimage trail in Main-Taubertal region, Germany.

The Jakobsweg Main-Taubertal extends for 183 kilometers through the regions of Miltenberg, Main-Tauber-Kreis, and Ansbach, connecting multiple historical towns and villages.

The trail development began in 1992 when Protestant pastor Paul Geißendörfer established the initial route from Rothenburg ob der Tauber to Nuremberg as part of German pilgrimage paths.

Along the trail, numerous churches display medieval artwork, statues, and stained glass windows depicting Saint James, reflecting the strong religious heritage of the region.

The path divides into nine segments between 16 and 28 kilometers each, with elevation changes from 130 to 449 meters, making it suitable for different fitness levels.

The route intersects with European Long-Distance Path E8 and connects to other major trails including the Jakobsweg Colmar-Aschaffenburg and the Odenwald-Madonnen-Weg.
