“One doesn’t get used to the cross of Jesus,” wrote Wolfgang Huber (then Chairman of the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany) in a publication. He continues: “Even if it is only used as an ornament. At some point, its original meaning breaks through. Then, to their own surprise, people come into contact with Jesus and his cross. Then they begin to talk about it. As lonely as Jesus’ walk to Golgotha was, the effects emanating from it, the encounters it initiated, and the paths it led us down are equally surprising. When we look at the cross of Jesus, we are brought together.” (Text from “In the Beginning a Word: The Gospel of John as a Year’s Companion”)

What a perfect place for a break!

The striking sandstone monolith on Orleberg hill above Donsieders, situated on the Palatinate Forest Trail and the Panorama Trail, impresses with its 8-meter height and approximately 55-ton weight, making it visible from afar. It was donated by the former parish priest, Alfons Wilhelm. Comfortable seating areas and benches around this obelisk invite visitors to rest, linger, and unwind. This magical spot, nestled amidst fields and meadows, offers a magnificent view of the Sickinger Höhe region, and on a clear day, even as far as the Saarland. Sunsets here are particularly beautiful. The newly installed sundial is another highlight of this lovely location. Just a few meters away, an old wayside cross can also be seen, picturesquely situated beneath a group of trees. ] ... https://www.outdooractive.com/mobile/de/poi/pfalz/aussichtspunkt-und-rastplatz-sandstein-monolith/13353033/

The pilgrimage site of Maria Rosenberg is very well-known and offers seminars and retreats in its conference centers. A building for children and youth services, run by St. Josef in Landau-Queichheim, is also located here. I would like to mention that many years ago, during a visit to the church, I played the organ during a service.

The bike path down is CLOSED. Pushing is permitted back up.
