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.

The steps up to Kreuzberg

Highlight • Trail

The view at the 3 crosses is unbeatable. It is best to spend the night in the monastery, then you can also take excellent sunset pictures in good weather conditions.

March 5, 2022,7 Summits Bayern | Kreuzberg i.d.Rhön

The aim of the 7 Summit Bayerntour is to climb a peak in Lower Franconia.

Easy, steady ascent from the hiking car park near Haselbach i.d.Rhön.

Steep forest path at the beginning to the climbing garden. Continue on bisserl single trail with roots, stones up to the T-bar station.

Dream tour 😍. The Rhön is beautiful ☺️. Hike from the car park (EUR 1.50 fee) to the Kreuzberg monastery and then up the many stairs to the Kreuzberg summit with a panoramic view of the Wasserkuppe and the Inselsberg. Then on to the Gemündener Hütte (closed today) with a great view of the ruins of Osterburg and Bischofsheim. From …

January 25, 2024,Rhön Wandern: Vom Neustädter Haus zum Kloster Kreuzberg

Short afternoon hike in the beautiful Bavarian Rhön. Starting point is the parking lot at Neustädter Haus. The route then takes just under 2.5 km up to the “holy mountain of the Franconians” - the Kreuzberg Monastery. After a short break, we return the same way.
