Beautiful church from the 13th century. Old cemetery within the walls with old, sometimes bizarre gravestones. A bench in front of and a bench within the walls invite you to rest. From here you have a wonderful view of Auerbach and across the plain.

Hiking
The mountain church in Auerbach, a district of Bensheim, stands in a commanding position above the old town center, visible from afar, on a rocky hill surrounded by the walled area of the old cemetery.
With the Reformation in 1528, the first Protestant pastor was introduced. The Catholic community of Auerbach ceased to exist and the mountain church dedicated to Saint Nicholas became a Protestant parish church.
In 1955 the Catholic parish of Auerbach Heilig-Kreuz was re-established under the patronage of St. Nicholas.
