In July 2009, the community of Breitbrunn announced a competition for a Stations of the Cross that was intended to establish a connection to the surrounding quarries, in which many residents of Breitbrunn have worked in a long tradition. The jury ultimately chose the sculptor Steffi Bauer from Schweinfurt. Figures and scenes of the Way of the Cross were carved out of rough boulders from these quarries. The stations thus enter into a natural symbiosis with the attractive Lower Franconian landscape. The association “Freundeskreis Kreuzweg Breitbrunn e.V.” takes care of the care and preservation of the cultural monument.

Often found in Bavaria, chapels along the wayside, this one reminds me a bit of the chapel on the Heiligenleite near Gemünda, modern in design and open.

Beautifully designed open-air way of the cross. It is absolutely worthwhile to walk the path in peace and to take a close look at each station. Overall, the path is not too long and follows a dirt road with little traffic, so it is also great for a walk or a short bike ride with children.
