One aspect that shapes the landscape is the area-wide network of sacred land monuments, which began with the fact that in the Baroque period, when the Waldsassen monastery experienced a second heyday, not only were many new churches built in the entire Stiftland and pilgrimages flourished, but also everywhere on paths Path chapels and wayside shrines were built. The wayside shrines from that period almost all have certain things in common, such as the building material granite, which is typical of the Stiftland, and the crowning Caravaca cross, which is why they have been called "Stiftland pillars".
