Hiking

The baroque Mater Dolorosa shrine in Gerlachsheim is an impressive work of art and a worthwhile destination for a short detour on your hike. Tip: Take your time to take a closer look at the artistic details and the expressive depiction of Our Lady of Sorrows. It is particularly beautiful when the evening sun bathes the delicate work in warm light - an ideal place for a short break or quiet contemplation.

In 1741, Johann Peter Buchler founded the Mater Dolorosa on the Grünbach (Christ on the Cross with Pietà). The sculptor was Anton Grimbach from Bühlertann near Ellwangen.

The cross has been re-erected after it was damaged during the relocation of the train station.
