The steps up to Kreuzberg

Highlight • Trail

The view at the 3 crosses is unbeatable. It is best to spend the night in the monastery, then you can also take excellent sunset pictures in good weather conditions.

Short afternoon hike in the beautiful Bavarian Rhön. Starting point is the parking lot at Neustädter Haus. The route then takes just under 2.5 km up to the “holy mountain of the Franconians” - the Kreuzberg Monastery. After a short break, we return the same way.
