    Hiking

    As a sign of faith, beautiful wooden crosses adorn the tombs. No Savior is like the other. Some local carvers made the Christ figures. According to the cemetery regulations, the use of tombstones and marble surrounds is not permitted.

    This extraordinary cemetery with its wooden crosses was particularly highlighted by being awarded the “Bavarian Wood Prize”.

    A way of the cross with its 14 stations leads from the Wellheimer church through shady beech forest up to the Kreuzelkapelle. This simple, plain little church, enthroned on a boulder sloping steeply on all sides, was built in 1654 in honor of the Holy Virgin and Our Lady of God.
