アラーハイムの絶景の山頂・トップ9

The view, on a reasonably good day, from the Bockberg into the Ries valley all the way to Nördlingen, where you can see the "Daniel" church tower, is always an experience. Looking to the right, you'll see a transmission mast (now much taller than it was then) for the public broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk (Bavarian Broadcasting) that has stood on the Hühnerberg since 1952. Continuing on to Harburg, you'll see the ever-fascinating Harburg Castle complex.

Mini fossils from the Riessee period can be found here.

A hilltop with a beautiful view.

Here it goes up nicely and down again to Schaffhausen.

Nice cookie. The landscape reminded me of Iceland.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads have been erected as visible signs and attract the looks of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I wish that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. " (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig in: "Crosses of the way ... Small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")

In the middle of nowhere there is a beautiful old rock with a cross.

Between the Harburg and the Bockberg there is an old Jewish cemetery on the right hand side at the foot of the Hühnerberg.
