The Via Jagiellonica in Poland, Belarus and Lithuania has two branches, the east and the west path. Both routes lead from Krakow to Vilnius, the two capitals of the Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic republic at the time of Jagiellonian between the 14th and 16th centuries. The route runs through several Polish voivodeships: Lesser Poland, Subcarpathian, Holy Cross, Lublin and Podlaskie as well as through Belarus and Lithuania. It leads along the palaces and royal courts that the Polish kings from the Jagiellonian dynasty regularly visited on their routes between Poland and Lithuania in the early modern period. The path was first discovered by 1386 Ladislaus II Jagiello from Vilnius to Krakow for the coronation of the king in Wawel and marrying the Saint Hedwig used. After the relocation of the Polish-Lithuanian capital in 1611 to Warsaw the way has lost its former meaning.
The path is a fork in the Via Regia in Poland. You can hike the path, make a pilgrimage (part of the Way of St. James) or by car, motorbike or motorcycle.
The sections of the routes are each approx. 600 km long and were part of the 600 year celebration of the Battle of Grunwald / Tannenberg 1410 planned and built. The highway partly follows the path Autostrada A4. The eastern route follows the middle route between Kraków and Zawichost Vistula.
