Many Stations of the Cross in Franconian wine regions are scenically beautiful and offer not only spiritual aspects but also beautiful views of the wine landscape. They are ideal for both contemplative walks and as cultural highlights of a hike through the vineyards.

I recognized the path from the Mainschleifenbahn (Main Loop Railway). I discovered it here on Komoot. So I used the railway as a feeder and explored the path. In short: It's amazing.
