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.

July 6, 2025,Rhön Wandern: Sandberg - Kreuzberg (Hl. Berg der Franken) - Neustädter Haus

No sun today, but still around 20°C, so ideal hiking weather once again up to the Kreuzberg at 925 m - the holy mountain of the Franconians :-)
