The Kreuzberg in the Rhön has always attracted people as a place of power. In pre-Christian times, there was a sacred ash tree there, which is remembered by the old name "Aschberg". Since the Christianization of the Franks by St. Kilian and his companions in the year 686, the Kreuzberg has been considered the Holy Mountain of the Franks. The monastery, located just below the summit, was founded in 1644 by Franciscan monks. The pilgrimages are popular with the population, both from the surrounding area and traditionally from the Lower Franconian district town of Würzburg, which makes the long journey on foot to the pilgrimage church every year.

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).
