The Petersberger Bittweg is the last of the original four processional paths that led to the pilgrimage chapel on Petersberg in the Siebengebirge. It consists of twelve, originally 14 stations in the form of processional altars and crosses from the 17th and 18th centuries. The Bittweg with its route and the individual stations is a listed building. (Source: Wikipedia)
