The steps up to Kreuzberg

Highlight • Trail

The view at the 3 crosses is unbeatable. It is best to spend the night in the monastery, then you can also take excellent sunset pictures in good weather conditions.

Kreuzberg Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

At the end of the tour, I advise everyone to stop by the monastery to enjoy a delicious meal with a large beer. You can also buy beer there to take home.

March 2, 2025,Kissinger Hütte - Kreuzberg und zurück

Early in the morning, a quick hike.
Parked at the former basalt works, from there up to the Kissinger Hütte, then on to the Kreuzberg monastery and back again.
Wonderful nature and fresh air, pure sunshine, beautiful views.
Fitness and good footwear required.
Enough places to rest available.
