There really wasn't much trade that happened in the Middle Ages. Some sailors followed the Coastlines and traded along the coast, but overland trade didn't start until the late 1390's or 1400's. It was very dangerous and a long expensive trip overland.

There were a number of important land routes. These ran between major cities, and a number of them predated the Middle Ages. In the 13th century, the silk road was opened by the Mongols, providing a relatively secure route to China, for a time.
