February 21, 2026, Galician Cruceiro at Blutenburg Castle

A Symbol of Connection - The Stone Cross at Blutenburg Castle https://www.blutenburg.de/rundgang-und-geschichte/steinkreuz The Beginning of a Sculpture Park https://www.blutenburg.de/rundgang-und-geschichte/skulpturenpark The Spanish Stone Cross A Spanish cross was erected south of Blutenburg Castle in 1983, initially almost unnoticed by the local population. Visitors often inquired about the origin and meaning of this cross. In 2003, the story was finally explained, and we are happy to share this information with interested visitors on a dedicated page of our walking tour.

A highlight in many ways - great photo opportunity, even from afar through the open meadow "Am Durchblick" - nice stop in front of the castle by the pond without consumption or inside in the café - is on the Würmradweg-Nord between Pasing and Allach-Untermenzing in a north-south direction - east-west direction the castle is at the western end of the green belt "Durchblick" to Nymphenburg Palace and to the east to Langwieder See Where Munich cyclists like to ride, including insider tips. - link to the map: https://t1p.de/radlvorrangnetz - app "MunichWays":
