Tips from the Community

Staufer
December 13, 2025, Rote Marter Memorial

Red Martyrs "Red Martyrs" generally refers to historic wayside crosses, memorial stones, or field monuments (also called "Marterl" in some regions), often made of oak and traditionally painted red with oxblood for identification. Such monuments are widespread in Bavaria, particularly in Franconian Switzerland and the Upper Palatinate. The term "Marter" derives from the concept of the Passion of Christ or the Stations of the Cross and refers to martyrdom. These monuments were frequently erected at sites of accidents, murders, or other significant events. These locations often serve as starting points or stops on hiking trails and educational paths.

I recommend taking the short route through the plant grounds. The nuclear power plant is out of operation and the path is open. A slightly different experience.

It's a different experience to get so close to such a building. You can even drive a short section through the site of the old nuclear power plant. The cooling tower is more than impressive.
