Station number 4 of the Flosser Besinnungsweg is about becoming aware of one's own transience. This is where the gallows of the Floss High Court stood. Hikers place small stones, an old Jewish custom, to commemorate the dead. The stones have the same meaning as the flowers for us.

Hiking

Find peace on Floss paths - this is the motto of the reflection path, which has its starting point at the district teaching garden in Floß. The boulders are always there: the millennia-old rocks tell stories from times long past. Here, on Galgenberg, you should become aware of your own transience. Hikers place stones at this point.

The Findling is a really nice hiking tour from the raft, with the highlight and place of power Doost and some nice stations like this one 👍
