Great viewpoint. Unfortunately, you can hear the motorway quite loudly.

The view is into the Baunachtal valley and to the ridges of the Jura with the Giechburg.

Mario Amico (KAB Düsseldorf) writes about the patron saint of this church: “In a time when many people are searching for guidance, Saint Francis Xavier invites us to be messengers ourselves – in our daily lives, in our surroundings. This means bearing witness through our actions, our words, and our love. For the message of the Gospel remains alive when we share it with love, joy, and courage. This saint is therefore a perfect fit for Advent,” which also includes the feast day of Saint Francis Xavier in the liturgical calendar: December 3rd.

The Spitzlberg not only marks the political border between the administrative districts of Upper and Lower Franconia, the districts of Bamberg and Haßberge, and the districts of Staffelbach and Stettfeld, but also the ecclesiastical border between the dioceses of Bamberg and Würzburg.

If you continue up the path, you will come to the Mühlbach spring. I think it would be nice to take a break there
