ガイスバーガーの森のおすすめランニングルート

On the connecting road between Amlingstadt and Roßdorf am Forst (near Wernsdorf) are two striking religious monuments, often linked to local history and old field paths. The wayside shrine, often referred to as a "Martersäule" (martyr's column) in Franconia, is a typical example of Baroque folk piety in Franconia. The column is made of sandstone and has a smooth base (approximately 140 cm high) that terminates in a cap with niches for images. The lantern (the upper part) often features four empty, round-arched niches and is topped with a cross-shaped roof, sometimes adorned with shell ornaments (scallop shells) – a reference to its location on old pilgrimage routes. Directly opposite the wayside shrine stands a wooden cross with a corpus. Such wayside crosses formerly served as landmarks, places for prayer during fieldwork, or as memorials for those who had died in accidents.
