St. Sixtus Parish Church, Reisensburg

Highlight • Religious Site

It is unclear when Reisensburg received its first church. However, a church can be traced back to 1462. On May 8, 1780, one day after the Frauenkirche, Auxiliary Bishop Johann Nepomuk consecrated the Church of St. Sixtus in Reisensburg. Its medieval predecessor was demolished in 1767. The paintings of St. Sixtus, St. Peregrine, and "Christ on the Cross" are by Georg Lacher. In 1987/1988, the interior was redesigned and equipped with three new Baroque altars painted on the walls.

Wooden Wayside Cross

Highlight • Religious Site

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the eyes of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. "
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
in: “Crossroads. Small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety ")

Wilderness Area in Donauhänge und Auen between Leipheim and Offingen

Highlight • Forest

This section of the route can really not be described as a path but rather as a climbing garden. I strongly advise against it...unless you have children with you. Then it can be great fun... ;-)
