Just like here in Wallerfangen, the Way of the Cross usually leads up the mountain or hill with the - nowadays usually fourteen - stations (sometimes called "Calverienberg" in memory of Golgotha, where Jesus Christ was crucified) along. Early medieval forerunners of the Way of the Cross only had 7 stations and walking through them praying was also known as the “Walk to the Seven Footfalls”.
In some places, after the XIV. (And actually last) station, the burial of Jesus, another station follows: The resurrection of Jesus Christ. This additional Stations of the Cross extends the view of the Easter hope perspective: Overcoming death and suffering.

Very nice, narrow path that leads from Wallerfangen quite steeply to Oberlimberg. On the way you can see some stations of the cross with stone crosses with inscriptions and other religious objects

Very nice narrow path that leads up quite steeply. Slightly muddy in winter, but it works. There were also a lot of wild boar tracks.
