There is a statue of Saint Francis on the Old Mountain. He has the most beautiful place up here, looking out over the vineyards of Wiebelsberg, along the slope of the Steigerwald. The valley of Handthal with its vineyards opens up on the left. The exposed chapel of the 14 Holy Helpers from Oberschwarzach greets you. The rest area invites you to stay. Looking at the statue of the saint, one can reflect well on the abundance of life, the generosity of nature and how little it actually takes to be happy.
