    Hiking

    This forest chapel is really a gem on the "Altbaierischen Oxenweg"
    The Altbaierische Oxenweg is an old trade route on which tens of thousands of Hungarian gray oxen were driven to Altbayern every year in the Middle Ages and in the early modern period.

    The Oxenkreuz has nothing to do with the Oxen drive from Hungary - the explanation is noted in the chapel. It is a vow by a farmer from 1892.
