| | On The Path of The Pilgrims, Rapperswil, Pfaeffikon and Einsiedeln (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | The route through Rapperswil, Pfaeffikon and Einsiedeln is part of the Way of St. James, or Jakobsweg as it is called, because it ends in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, believed to be the burial place of St. James. |
 | | Rapperswil is on the Way of St. James, and is sometimes used as the starting point of a pilgrim’s journey. |
 | | While walking the streets of this well- preserved, old town, we came across a house of pilgrimage, where pilgrims are given soup and bread to help sustain them, also they have their pilgrim’s credentials stamped or signed there. |
