The Sisi Memorial (alternatively known as the Empress Elisabeth Memorial) in honor of the Austrian Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary, known as "Sisi", is located on the Altenberg in Garitz, a district of the Bavarian spa town of Bad Kissingen in the Lower Franconian district of Bad Kissingen.
Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary spent several spa stays in Bad Kissingen (most recently a few months before her death), during which she also enjoyed taking walks on the Altenberg. In her honor, the "Committee for the Erection of a Monument in Memory of Her Majesty Empress Elisabeth of Austria", founded in 1904, erected a memorial plaque in 1907, which is located a few meters behind the round temple. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisi-Denkmal_(Bad_Kissingen)

On the way up to the Sissi Monument you have (in good weather) a beautiful view of Bad Kissingen. The "ST" (Sissi Tour) is well suited for a short tour with an overview of Bad Kissingen, if you are only here for a short time and want to stretch your feet after a city tour.
