Nuns' Cross Memorial

Highlight • Monument

The cross is off the path and you can easily walk past it. Behind the cross is a tragic story about a good soul who probably belonged to the Paulinzella monastery.

May 17, 2025,Singen – Klosterruine Paulinzella - Runde

There is still forest in the Thuringian Forest, from Singen to Paulinzella - the way back then shines more with wide views of the countryside.

Due to my somewhat longer tour yesterday in Voigtland in Saxony, today's lap should be a bit smaller and without long journeys. During my search in the Komoot fund, I came across this tour. I have often driven through Paulinzella by car and the idea of exploring the monastery complex has always occurred to me. All the better if you …

Hidden in a small valley in the Thuringian Forest - that is what the former Paulinzella monastery is today. And the spirituality that this place exudes has also been preserved...
Like every year on the first day of November, we set off for a lovely autumn hike :-)

Very nice, relaxing hike from Paulienzella to Gösselborn. The church here is really an eye-catcher with its narrow tower. We continued on to the church in Singen. It's a pretty big church for such a small place. We continued past the museum brewery without stopping. And back to Paulienzella.

July 11, 2024,Wanderung von Paulinzella durch Gösselborn nach Singen

Today's hike took us from Paulinzella through Gösselborn to Singen on beautiful, sunny paths. The temperatures were bearable and there was often a cool breeze.
Aside from the churches in both places, the Schmitt brewery in Singen is the highlight. We didn't drink a beer, it was enough to make us cry, we weren't thirsty 🤣. No, it just makes …
