Via Baltica, also known as the Baltic-Westphalian Way, is the northernmost east-west connection in the German network of Jakobswege. The route begins on the island of Usedom at the border between Poland and Germany, between Swinemünde (Świnoujście) and Kamminke. It thus serves as a bridge from the Baltic countries to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

Via Scandinavica connects the Scandinavian countries with the Jakobswege in southern Germany. The route is managed by the German Jakobsweg Association.

It connects to the Monastery Trail in Alvastra, which leads to Vadstena. To the south, the trail extends to Byarum, where it joins the Munkaleden.

On Östgötaleden also known as The Monastery Trail from Alvastra to Vadstena, you hike over the sacred mountain of  Omberg.

The next day, the trail continues across the Östgöta plain, where you can visit several medieval churches, eventually reaching the pilgrimage destination, the Monastery Church in Vadstena. This trail is perfect for a weekend hike.
