    White tuff stone column erected by Diessen fishermen. The column, dating from around 1629, served as a guide for the fishermen and pilgrims from Diessen on the crossing to Andechs.
    Today's town of Wartaweil: wart-a-weil = being able to wait, learning to wait - slowing down ;-))), because back then you also had to wait for the ship :-)))

    A pillar marks the present-day town of Wartaweil. The unusual name came about at a time when the bank was still completely undeveloped. The pillar marked the crossing for pilgrims over the Ammerweg on their way to Andechs Monastery. If too many people wanted to cross, the ferrymen would call out to them "Wait a while!".

    The pillar is somewhat overgrown and set back on a narrow path. Even as a hiker, you have to pay careful attention to the information sign and the stone.
