Fernweg

Fernweg turns your everyday steps into a long journey. The walking you do anyway — to work, to the shops, once around the block after dinner — is mapped onto a real long-distance trail. Every day your point moves a little further. After two weeks you are in Pamplona; after half a year, in Santiago de Compostela. THE PLACES COME TO YOU Along the way you reach places: a village in Navarre, a Romanesque church in Galicia, an old railway bridge over the Potomac. Each one gets a card in your collection — with a photo and a paragraph about what is there and what happened there. WHAT LIES AHEAD STAYS HIDDEN You see only where you have been. No leafing through the route, no previewing the finish. The only thing named in advance is the next place — and how many kilometres are left. That is the reason to head out one more time in the evening. THREE ROUTES • Camino Francés — around 760 km from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela, around 50 places • Via Podiensis — around 750 km from Le Puy-en-Velay to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, where the Camino begins, around 50 places • Great Allegheny Passage & C&O Towpath — around 530 km from Pittsburgh to Washington, following the rivers, around 25 places ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A widget shows how far you have come, today's kilometres, and a photo of the last place you passed. It keeps counting on its own, even if the app stays closed for days. WORKS OFFLINE Every photo is included. Out on the trail, Fernweg needs no connection. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account, no sign-in, no server. Fernweg reads your walking distance from Apple Health and does the maths on your device. None of it is transmitted. No tracking, no advertising, no analytics. The app does not ask for your location either. The point on the map is calculated, not measured. TRY IT You walk as far as the first stage goal for free — on the Camino that is a good two weeks, as far as Pamplona. After that you unlock it once. No subscription, no running costs. Fernweg counts walking, and only walking.
