The Lukmanier Pass was once the pass that connected the central and eastern parts of Switzerland with Italy, since the Gotthard with the wild Schöllenen Gorge was a difficult obstacle to overcome. It was probably the Walser around 1200 who made the Schöllenen Gorge passable with a footpath and several bridges. Since this route was shorter for many connections, the importance of the Lukmanier decreased. However, since it is less than 2000 meters high, it retained the significance of a pass usually passable even in winter.

The Lukmanier is easily accessible both by road and on foot, as it continuously rises with a moderate gradient from the north. The pass height is also the border between the cantons of Graubünden and Ticino. So, if someone speaks of the "Lukmanier Pass," it might be a German-speaking Graubünden resident; if someone says "Passo del Lucomagno," then it might be a Ticinese. But if someone says "Cuolm Lucmagn," it is almost certainly a Romansh-speaking Graubünden resident, as this fourth national language of Switzerland is now mostly spoken only in Graubünden, with a declining trend.

Anmerkungen

The "Via Francisca" is also called the "Emperors' Road." It leads from Konstanz over the Lukmanier to Pavia, where it meets the Via Francigena.

Tipp des Autors

The stages in this documentation are suggestions that each pilgrim can adapt to their wishes. However, the technical data always assumes that these stages are completed in one day each.
