Wayside Cross on the Altmühl Panorama Trail

Highlight • Religious Site

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention 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 has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus.
So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
in: "Crossroads... small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")

Teufelsfelsen Take-off Ramp and View over the Altmühl Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Near the village Jachenhausen near Riedenburg is the Devil's Rock.
There is a legend that on the rock once a monastery is said to have been destroyed by the devil. After that, people have been repeatedly thrown from the rock into death by the corporeal. Only a boy who defeated the devil in the game put an end to the haunting. A buck of the fleeing evil and a footprint of the boy should still be visible on a stone today.
Today the Teufelsfelsen with a departure ramp built on it paragliders serves us hang gliders as a starting point for a flight over the valley.
