One of the most popular viewpoints with picturesque views over Gößweinstein and Franconian Switzerland. The Kreuzberg is located on a steep rock on which stands the so-called high cross. He is also the end of the Way of the Cross of the pilgrims. From the Kreuzberg you have a wonderful view over the northern Franconian Switzerland, the Wiesenttal and the place with its castle and pilgrimage basilica.
