Did Martin Luther walk from Wittenberg to Worms ? I haven’t been able to find any information specifying how to travelled to the Diet of Worms in 1521.
He traveled in a roofed wagon: (probably drawn by an ox, but that’s just my guess).

Thanks EinsteinHund.
At your service! As a interesting aside, when Martin Luther earlier went on his famous, much longer voyage to Rome, he made it by foot. But of course he was merely a lowly monk at that time and had no official support, only a mission from his convent.
Also, to complete the journey, Luther had a safe conduit pass to and from Wurms, but many expected him not to survive the return trip as Luther had been excommunicated, allowing anyone to kill him w/o staining their soul.
So, upon returning, his carriage was ‘attacked’ by bandits (secretly on hire from his benefactor, Prince Frederick of Saxony), and Luther was squired away in Wartburg for about a year.
And at the Wartburg, he used his time to translate the New Testament into German. (Later, he translated the Old Testament too, and thus laid the groundwork for the modern High German language.)
