Hiking

On the way to the summit of the Kirschberg you pass many wayside shrines. One of them is this one. You can relax briefly on the neighboring bench.

Hiking

There are already a few shrines in our area. Each wayside shrine has its own story. They are small religious monuments, usually a wooden or stone pillar standing on a path, which carries a sculptural or painted motif or devotional image (usually the image of a saint, a scene with saints or the crucified Christ).
The motivation is similar to that of wayside crosses: as an impetus for prayer on the way, as a sign of gratitude for dangers or epidemics that have been overcome, and as a reminder of accidents.
