Directly below the Kreuzberg is a paid hiking parking lot. From there it is only about 400 meters to the Kreuzberg monastery. Via a steep staircase, you reach the Kreuzberg (928 m above sea level). On the way, you pass three oversized crosses that represent striking waypoints. A little further up, you finally reach the even larger summit cross of the mountain. The location is part of the Bischofsheimer Gipfel-Pass with stamp number 3 (directly next to the cross pedestal).

Stations of the Cross on the Kreuzberg

Highlight • Religious Site

The Kreuzberg as a monastery site is of course concerned with the story of the Passion and the Stations of the Cross. This is clearly shown on reliefs and can be experienced at the Stations of the Cross.

Kreuzberg Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

At the end of the tour, I advise everyone to stop by the monastery to enjoy a delicious meal with a large beer. You can also buy beer there to take home.
