An average gradient of 20% speaks for itself. Unfortunately, the path is repeatedly interrupted by stairs.

Great and quite wild gorge

Fine gorge, well secured… However, it would be nicer left natural and without an asphalt road

Veitshöchheim is very beautiful, you have to visit it

Veitshöchheim is a municipality in the Lower Franconian district of Würzburg and is located on the Main. The town is a former summer residence of the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg, later of the Kings of Bavaria. The palace complex with its Rococo garden is well-known. Veitshöchheim was first mentioned in 779. The parish of Veitshöchheim was donated to the monastery of St. Stephan in 1097 by the Würzburg bishop Emehard. Veitshöchheim Palace was built between 1680 and 1682 under Prince-Bishop Peter Philipp von Dernbach and expanded between 1749 and 1753 by Balthasar Neumann. The construction of the court garden, which belongs to the palace, began in 1702. The parish church of St. Vitus, which still exists today, was consecrated in 1691, and the Veitshöchheim synagogue was built between 1727 and 1730. In 1814, the town finally fell to the state of Bavaria, after only nine years earlier it had become part of the Grand Duchy of Würzburg. The municipality was formed in its current form in the course of the Bavarian administrative reforms in 1818. Veitshöchheim train station with the royal pavilion was built in 1853 and 1854 under Maximilian II of Bavaria. Source: Wikipedia

@Leo and Katrin described it exactly😉

Kunigunde's linden tree "Thousand-year-old" Kunigunde's linden tree ♁⊙ on the west side of the churchyard Right next to the chapel stands the "Thousand-year-old" Kunigunde's linden tree, also named after the saint. According to the legend of the church's founding, it is the same tree in which Kunigunde's veil got caught and the little church was built under her. Since the historical Kunigunde died in 1033, this would confirm the linden tree's age of over 1000 years. The actual age of the tree is highly controversial, however, and very different information can be found in the literature. A dendrological determination of the age of the striking tree is not possible, since its trunk is completely hollow and the core of the trunk is missing. It is often assumed that the linden tree was planted at the same time as the chapel was built, which would make it at least 800 years old. The linden tree itself is a summer linden and a protected natural monument. Over the centuries of its life, its trunk has split into four parts and is completely hollow inside. The remaining remnants of the trunk shell are supported by massive iron rods. To prevent it from breaking apart under the weight of its own crown, a radical pruning is carried out approximately every 25 years - the Kunigundenlinde has been completely decapitated several times in recent decades during renovation work. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunigundenkapelle_(Burgerroth)

After her canonization in 1200, Saint Kunigunde became one of the most popular saints, especially in Franconia. According to legend, the construction of the chapel in Burgerroth can be traced back to her. She had vowed to build three churches and wanted to leave the choice of building sites to divine providence. She let three veils fly from Bamberg Castle: wherever they were found, a church was to be built. One of the veils was carried by the wind to the Old Mountain, where it got caught in a linden tree that still stands there today. The little church was to serve as a parish church for both Burgerroth and the neighboring town of Buch, but the people of Buch felt that the location was too far away. They took the building materials to Buch on their own initiative, but the next day everything was back in its intended place. One carpenter is said to have even laid down on the stones in the evening and woke up on the stones on the Old Mountain the next morning. The people of Buch gave up their resistance and the chapel was built here. Kunigundenstein The saint is said to have prayed at a spot 150 m southeast of the chapel in the direction of Gollach and left her hand, knee and footprints there. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunigundenkapelle_(Burgerroth)
