367 steps lead to the Mariahilfkirche, slightly below is the Mount of Olives with chapel and Jesus figure.

As here in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz, the Way of the Cross usually leads up the mountain or hill (sometimes also referred to as "Kalverienberg" in memory of Golgotha, where Jesus Christ was crucified) with the - nowadays mostly 14 - stations or along this one. Early medieval forerunners of the Ways of the Cross had only 7 stations and were sometimes also referred to as the "walk to the seven footfalls".

In some places, after the fourteenth station, the burial of Jesus, there is another station: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This additional Station of the Cross broadens the view from Good Friday towards the Easter perspective of hope: overcoming death and suffering.

The steps are a bit strenuous but because of the view at the top it is worth the effort.
