ABSTRACT
Walking, according to the world vision of mainstream modernity, is fundamentally a way of reaching a destination, or a mode of travelling. Walking, understood as a mode of moving by foot, in the world is primarily considered as archaic mode of travelling. The world of cave art is fundamentally connected to the theme of walking and its opposite, representation. The main pilgrim routes are the Camino de Santiago in Spain and the Via Francigena from Canterbury to Rome, which were also two of the three most important medieval pilgrimage roads, the third being the road through the Balkans to Jerusalem, evidently hardly practicable today. The resurgence of interest even led to the creation of new walking pilgrimage roads. The new popularity of long-distance walking pilgrimage, as shown by the increasing number of people participating in the Camino, speaks for itself.
