Beautiful view over Gößweinstein. Like a prayer path up there. Many crosses are offered with a bench as a resting place. Again and again you encounter nuns up there.

Hiking

The Kreuzberg is an imposing rock on which the so-called Hochkreuz stands. It is the end point of the pilgrims' Way of the Cross. From here you have a wonderful view over the Wiesenttal and over Gössweinstein with its castle and pilgrimage basilica.
