Hiking

It is a way of the cross with different stations. The suffering of Jesus Christ is depicted in sculpture. Every year processions take place from Erfweiler, which end at the Winterkirchel on the Winterberg. At each station there is a short stop and a prayer is said.

Hiking

The Stations of the Cross from the Erfweiler "Kapellche" (at the edge of Erfweiler) initially run flat through the Glastal valley and then climb steeply uphill to the Winterkirchel chapel. It consists of 12 stations, i.e., 12 large, hewn sandstone blocks, which unfortunately now look quite weathered. (A Catholic Stations of the Cross usually has 14 stations, but there are regional variations, as here in Erfweiler.)
