The route was dangerous because of storms, disease, floods, attacks, starvation, ships sinking.
It was not so much what they faced but more what the people on the road that the crusaders used face when the crusaders passed them. The crusaders has also been known to plunder on their way to the holy land. But the crusaders had to deal with Muslims that intended to stop or kill the crusaders on their way to the holy land and not to mention that it was a 6 month journey. They also had to cross the Alps and Many deserts. So the elements I would say was their greatest challenge.
The journey of the European Crusaders to the Holy Land varied depending on the specific crusade and the route taken. Generally, it took several months, often ranging from about three to six months, depending on the starting point, travel conditions, and logistical challenges. The First Crusade, for example, began in 1096 and reached Jerusalem in 1099, taking roughly three years in total, including the time spent traveling and fighting along the way.
1. The European armies were finally sent by Pope Urban II. 2. Knights fought their way to Jerusalem and captured it in 1099. 3. Crusaders killed about 10,000 Muslims and Jewish inhabitants. 4. Crusaders return to Europe. 5. Those who stayed set up four Christian kingdoms. 6. Muslim Turks repeatedly attacked these kingdoms. 7. European Christians then launched more crusades.
The Crusaders aimed to control Jerusalem, a city of immense religious significance for Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Capturing Jerusalem was seen as a way to secure Christian access to holy sites and assert dominance over the region. The city became the focal point of the First Crusade, leading to its capture in 1099. Subsequent Crusades also sought to regain or maintain control over Jerusalem due to its pivotal role in the religious and political landscape of the time.
* In the literal sense it was a medieval "war ", called for by the Pope approved by to regain the holy Land from Islam . The crusaders have often been glamorized, but often they behaved abominably. For example, before the First Crusade left the Rhineland it massacred a number of Jewish communities there. In Palestine and on the way to and from the country they often committed atrocities. But the crusaders also performed an invaluable service for Europe and the Byzantine Empire. They halted the Muslims' advance across Turkey and into Greece. Without the crusades, Islam would have taken over large amounts of Christendom.

Crusaders were disbatched by the Roman Catholic Church to drive back the Muslim who had invaded Europe. The Crusaders were encouraged by the Pagan Catholic Church to kill Jews along with the Muslims.

Their sentiments were not compatible with those of the crusaders, and they were in the way of the marchers.
The Crusaders fought in the name of Christianity during the Crusades. They were sanctioned by the Pope and saw their military campaigns as a way to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control.
