Hiking

In Franconia, wayside crosses are an integral part of the cultural landscape. They are far more than just religious signposts; they are stone or wooden witnesses to personal fates, gratitude, or historical jurisdiction. Many wooden or cast-iron crosses on field edges were donated by farmers to ask for God's blessing for the harvest or as thanks for a safe return from a war. The Bildstockzentrum Egenhausen in Unterfranken is dedicated to the research and preservation of these monuments.
