The wayside cross with its accompanying prayer bench marks a former pilgrimage site. Just a few decades ago, offerings were still hanging from the trees. Its origins trace back to the discovery of a cross by two hunters in 1674. The re-hung cross remained largely unnoticed for a long time until several miraculous healings occurred.

The Moosach Opening in Freising marks the uncovering of the city stream on Obere Hauptstraße, which had previously been covered for around 130 years. Following a decision in 2019, the construction phase began in 2020 and was completed with a ceremonial opening in May 2023. For a stretch of around 200 meters, the Moosach now flows openly again through the old town, inviting visitors to linger with its seating and steps directly by the water. High-quality natural stone paving and artistic elements, such as those by the artist Elke Härtel, give the area a special atmosphere. The opening not only made a piece of the city's history visible, but also significantly improved the quality of life in the city center. Furthermore, the water contributes to improving the city's climate and bringing nature and relaxation back to the heart of the old town.
