Pilgrims' Path to Wolfgang Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

If you want to walk a crossroads yourself, you can do that here. At the bottom of the path there are crosses that can be carried up to the Wolfgang Chapel.

If you come from the chapel, it's done here. Now you are at the highest point. A bank invites you to linger.

Following in the footsteps of @Gerhard Dengler, we went to Böbrach today. However, I wasn't paying attention, and we went the other way, taking the pilgrimage route/Stations of the Cross the wrong way. It was still beautiful! 👍 The Wolfgang Chapel and the Sternknöckel are truly beautiful.

The path continues around the Wolfgang Rock, climbing to the Platte plateau. Afterward, it continues …

A beautiful wooded tour from the Böbrach town hall via the beautiful Stations of the Cross to the St. Wolfgang chapel on to the Platte and then to the Sternknöckel. Very nice summit with rest benches.
Good food at fair prices is then available in the Gasthaus Sternknöckel.

Just as a hiking trail should be, in my opinion. Rocky and rooty. Only the last 10 minutes from the saddle were on a forest road. Worth seeing are the Sternknöckel summit with its view of the Arber and the Wolfgangskapelle chapel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
