With Brno now connected to the St. James’ Way in Lower Austria, it became possible to extend the route northwards to Olomouc and further on to the Polish border. Near Opava, pilgrims can link up with the Polish St. James’ Way. This created the opportunity to mark a north–south Camino route across the whole of Moravia — from Poland all the way to Austria.
The section from Olomouc to Brno follows, with only minor exceptions, the established hiking trails of the Czech Tourist Club, marked with the well-known stripe waymarking system.
An east–west variant of the St. James’ Way has also been proposed, leading from the Slovak town of Šaštín through Velehrad to Brno. From there, the route can continue westwards to Třebíč and across the Vysočina region to Český Krumlov, where it joins the St. James’ Way coming from the Broumov region via Vlašim and Tábor. The Velehrad–Brno–Třebíč section likewise follows existing Czech Tourist Club trails (with the exception of a short passage through Brno itself).
