The name of the highlight says it all.

Saint Hubert, to whom this chapel is dedicated, lived from 655 to 727 and is a very popular saint, best known as the patron saint of hunters. A stag with a glowing cross between its antlers is said to have appeared to him, which is often shown in Hubertus portraits. This legend was originally attributed to Saint Eustace and over time 'migrated' to Hubertus. His memorial day in the calendar of saints is November 3rd.

As here, the Way of the Cross usually leads up or along the mountain or hill (sometimes also referred to as "Calvary Hill" in memory of Golgotha, where Jesus Christ was crucified) with the - nowadays mostly 14 - stations. Early medieval forerunners of the Ways of the Cross had only 7 stations and were sometimes also referred to as the "walk to the seven footfalls". In some places, after the fourteenth station, the burial of Jesus, there is another station: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This additional Station of the Cross broadens the view from Good Friday towards the Easter perspective of hope: overcoming death and suffering.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention 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 has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus. So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.” (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig in: "Crossroads... small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")

Very nice shrine that is in a "hollowed out tree trunk". Really a great idea to still use this dead tree.

Donated in 1660 by a Zöchmeister couple from Großhöflein.

Very nice things to see at the wishing tree. It's best to bring something pretty and leave it on this beautiful wish tree ... brings luck
