The church is located on the western slope of the Kreuzberg in the Rhön at 864 m. Every year there are around 70 to 80 pilgrimages from all over Franconia to the Kreuzberg, the "Holy Mountain of the Franks", and to its monastery.

Gemündener Hütte left below Kreuzberg about 500 m up the mountain is even better - good view and even better food and ambience!
Addendum-check the opening hours beforehand. Due to a lack of staff, the hut is not open every day.
