Direction
From the station square, turn left and cross the railway tracks in a southerly direction.
From the Einheimer Steige road, take the turn-off to the left and walk along the edge of the forest and along fields in an easterly direction towards Obernbreit.
The route is already slightly uphill here and offers beautiful views far into the landscape of the Maindreieck.
After about two kilometres, you will pass the Galgenbergbrünnle, which is surrounded by small walls, somewhat hidden in the grass and carries a little water.
If you follow the road straight ahead, you will reach the Obernbreit cemetery, at the end of which you will find yourself in front of the Chapel of the Cross. This was a place of pilgrimage centuries ago.
