In Pyhra, the customs are still rough, they have a pillory there, supposedly MTB riders who are on illegal paths are exhibited here :-)

One of the many wayside shrines that you can find when you cycle along the Perschlingtal cycle path.

Pyhra belonged to the Wald district court. The gallows stood on the court hill. Minor punishments were punished in the pillory. When the executioner came from Wald, he tied his horse to one of the rings attached to house number 4 (Tersch House, next to Stockinger Bakery) and then did his work in the pillory. When quarrelsome women argued, they were beaten in the pillory; for other crimes, the heavy stone was carried.

A very nice rest area with the opportunity to refill your drinking water supplies. Located right next to the Perschlingtal cycle path.
