First snow on Christmas Eve at the Viller Steig walking the Via Tirolensis … following two pilgrimage routes at once : both the Camino de Santiago (St James Way , Jakobsweg) and the Via Romea Germanica. Both these pilgrimage routes follow this little road, the Viller Steig, between the villages Vill and Igls, in Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria, Dec 24th 2025.
Via Tirolensis
The Via Romea Germanica pilgrimage route, goes from Stade near Hamburg in Germany to Rome, Italy. The Tyrolean section (Via Tirolensis) in Austria and Italy of the Via Romea, goes from Mittenwald (German/Austrian border) – via Seefeld, Innsbruck, Vill, Igls, Patsch, to Brenner – Brenner (Austrian/Italian border), and next to Bolzano in South-Tyrol, Italy.
Camino de Santiago (St James Way , Jacobsweg): This road between Igls and Vill is also part of the Brenner – Innsbruck stage of the East Tyrol route in the Camino de Santiago network in Austria and Italia , the ‘Jakobsweg Osttirol’ .
In the old town of Innsbruck at the Golden Roof (Goldenes Dachl) this East Tyrol route merges with the main (east to west route in Austria), the ‘Jacobsweg Tirol’.

Trade & Industry Expansion – 1920s Gouda Works – Gouwe River
NL – Naast transport vindt uitbreiding van handel en industrie plaats aan de rand van de stad, hier langs de Turfsingel, een van de vier stadsgrachten rond de binnenstad van Gouda – grachten historisch ter verdediging, langs een stadsmuur.
De Turfsingel verbindt de Hollandsche IJssel en de Gouwe als schakel in de Nederlandse binnenvaart waterwegen.
De panoramische zwaai in deze korte film toont eerst de Gouwekerk aan de overkant van het kanaal, en vervolgens naar links, de twee identieke gebouwen van kaashandelaar Van Zwet, en daarnaast een grote draaiende korenmolen ‘Molen de Roode Leeuw’.
Achter die windmolen – hier niet zichtbaar – bevindt zich de aardewerkfabriek ‘Plazuid’ (Plateelfabriek Zuid-Holland).
De laatste beelden tonen – aan deze kant van het water – Viruly’s Zeepfabriek als onderdeel van de Stearine Kaarsenfabriek, en in het water ervoor een schuit met vaten gevuld waarschijnlijk met olie/vet gebruikt voor zowel de zeep als de kaars productie.
Achterin zijn een schoorsteen en de watertoren van de Machinale Garenspinnerij te zien.

EN – Apart from transport , expansion of trade and industry takes place on the outskirts of the city here, along the ‘Turfsingel’ canal, one of the four city canals around the inner city of Gouda – canals, historically for defence, along a city wall.
The Turfsingel canal connects the Hollandsche IJssel and Gouwe rivers as a link in the dutch inland waterway.
The panoramic sweep in this short film starts with a shot showing across the canal the Gouwekerk (Gouwe church), and next sweeping to the left, showing two identical buildings of cheese trader Van Zwet, and a big turning grist windmill ‘Molen de Roode Leeuw’ (the ‘Red Lion’).
Behind that windmill – not showing here – is the pottery factory ‘Plazuid’ (Plateelfabriek Zuid Holland).
The final images show – at this side of the canal – Viruly’s Soap factory as part of the Candle factory (Stearine Kaarsenfabriek), and in front a barge with barrels filled probably with oil/fat used for both the soap and candle production.
In the back are showing a chimney and the watertower of the Mechanized Yarn Spinnery (Machinale Garenspinnerij). Edit from film by Willy Mullens | Haghe Film | Open Images | Sound & Vision .
