Most funds did not believe in our “utopian” plan of a global pilgrimage route. Admittedly, it was somewhat ambitious. But thanks to many volunteers and friends, we still opened the first Walk of Wisdom in 2015: a pioneering route of roughly 140 kilometers around Nijmegen.
Meanwhile, more than 15,000 pilgrims registered. Our plan received a major regional award – the Gelderland Landscape Award – and a TV series on national television. Without subsidies, we get a lot done.
