Emergency shelter, nicely rustic...

Old train station of Oberviechtach, where the Bavarian-Bohemian cycle path also passes.

A radio tower like so many others.

The trail is really fun

Cool trail that's fun.

Very idyllically located

Pilgrimage Church of St. James Also known as St. James' Church or popularly known as "da Jakowe", it is located half a kilometer east of the village of Fuchsberg on the Way of St. James from Prague to Nuremberg at the fork in the road to Hebermühle. The church's beginnings go back a long way in history: According to popular belief, there was a masonry monument with a wooden portrait of St. James on the site of the current church. It is historically proven that the church was built in the 18th century. According to sources, the founders were Count Carl Clement von Taufkirchen zu Fuchsberg and his wife Eleonora. The background to the foundation is a vow: the founders asked St. James to protect their son from injury and death in the Turkish wars. A picture on the gallery shows the saint riding alongside the Taufkirchen cavalry officer and protecting him. When this wish was granted, the couple had the Jakobi Church built in 1766. It appears to be a reconstruction of a church that had fallen into disrepair during the Reformation. There are around 80 seats in the interior of the church. The altarpiece shows Saint James with a shell and walking stick. The altar is flanked by two baroque candlesticks and the paintings "Washing of the Feet" and "Last Supper", which are attributed to Anton Merz from Neunburg. Figures of Saint Peter, Saint James the Elder and Saint Paul are to the left of the altar, and a crucifixion group is on the right. The gallery is decorated with paintings depicting Saint James. On the back wall under the gallery there are several votive tablets, two of which show "the image of Fuchsberg Castle from 1796" and the ruins of Wildstein Castle. In the middle under the gallery there is an oil painting of a Madonna of Mary Help of Christians by the Winklarn reverse glass painter Karl Josef Ruf the Elder, so that the depiction of Mary and the altarpiece form a longitudinal axis in the church. The pilgrimage church of St. Jakob was extensively renovated three times between 1962 and 1991, during which the masonry was restored, the pews from the Teunz parish church were installed, the roof was covered with larch shingles and the ridge turret with the bell was moved.
