The Way of the Cross leads steeply from Glosberg up to the forest chapel and is used for processions. Beautiful shrines stand at the wayside.

Beautiful, narrow hiking trail with Jesus story carved in stone.

The fifth station shows the crucifixion scene, while Mary and John look up to Jesus. The crucified, clad in a wide leather cloth, shows the Greek gesture of sea blessing. Mary Magdalene kneels at the base of the cross, hands folded.
