The atonement cross is said to be a sign of a serious crime: A duel between two officers took place here. One of the duelists did not survive this conflict. As a result, the "right of atonement" was applied, which enabled the criminals to work off their deeds by erecting an atonement cross at the scene of the crime.

An almost very beautiful hike, except for one section directly along the Saale River. The path is very narrow and littered with fallen trees, forcing you to climb over or crawl under them. This is all over a distance of about 700-800 meters. It is, however, a regulated and signposted hiking trail. The responsible authorities should really address this before something happens. Absolutely avoid this trail if you have small children with you. Saalenstein Castle looked very interesting to us, but unfortunately, it was all closed. Overall, I would happily recommend the route. If you want to avoid the section with the fallen trees, you can simply return along the same well-paved path.
