Hiking

The chapel dedicated to the Holy Cross on the edge of the village of Machtilshausen was built in the late Baroque architectural style around 1730. It is the successor to a much smaller wooden chapel that was a much-visited place of pilgrimage in the late Middle Ages. It has always been on a trade route, which was probably also a feeder route to the Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostella. Due to several church robbery incidents in the 1970s, the chapel is mostly closed - but according to the information board, they try to maintain regular opening times.

Very beautiful chapel on the main road near Machtilshausen. The cycle path between Elfershauen and Hammelburg leads past it.
