The glass way of the cross leads up to the forest cemetery.

It consists of 14 Tiffany glass works of art, which show Jesus' stations of suffering, designed by the Bad Erlach glass artist Alois Hammer. Each individual glass panel consists of around 100 pieces of glass that are bonded together from tin and lead. The designs for it come from the painter Christine Buchner from Pitten / Lower Austria.

The glass way of the cross is illuminated in the evening hours. The glass works of art then shine in their full beauty.

As here, the Way of the Cross usually leads up or along the mountain or hill (sometimes also referred to as "Calvary Hill" in memory of Golgotha, where Jesus Christ was crucified) with the - nowadays mostly 14 - stations. Early medieval forerunners of the Ways of the Cross had only 7 stations and were sometimes also referred to as the "walk to the seven footfalls".

In some places, after the fourteenth station, the burial of Jesus, there is another station: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This additional Station of the Cross broadens the view from Good Friday towards the Easter perspective of hope: overcoming death and suffering.

Glows in the evening and is also wonderful in daylight.
