    Rocky ascent/descent (church path) at the Church of the Holy Cross in Tharandt. Sure-footedness is recommended.

    Information:

    Church of the Holy Cross (also known as the Church of the Holy Cross). Built between 1626 and 1629 on the walls of the abandoned lower castle. It was consecrated in 1631.
