Directly below the Kreuzberg is a paid hiking parking lot. From there it is only about 400 meters to the Kreuzberg monastery. Via a steep staircase, you reach the Kreuzberg (928 m above sea level). On the way, you pass three oversized crosses that represent striking waypoints. A little further up, you finally reach the even larger summit cross of the mountain. The location is part of the Bischofsheimer Gipfel-Pass with stamp number 3 (directly next to the cross pedestal).

The summit cross is on a radio mast. The circular trail leads directly past it.

The station, built in 1938 in the local style, was closed in 1996, was manned by a DB Cargo employee until 2000 and was used by the railway social welfare organization as a hostel for hikers until a few years ago. The entire area is now cordoned off with construction fences.
