The access to the plateau with a resting bench is directly on the gravel path, which is easily rideable and leads further up to the transmission mast at the Große Mauer

Saint Francis of Assisi, whose 800th anniversary of death we celebrate this year, describes our Christian life with the words of the Apostle Peter: he reminds us that we are called to "follow in the footsteps of Christ, who called his traitor friend and voluntarily handed himself over to his crucifiers" (cf. NbR XXII, 2; cf. 1 Pt 2:21). The Poverello encourages us to direct our gaze to Jesus: "Let us all, brothers, pay attention to the Good Shepherd, who, to save his sheep, suffered the torture of the cross" (Erm VI). Let us therefore accept Saint Francis' invitation on this Way of the Cross to follow in Jesus' footsteps, not just ritually or intellectually, but with our whole being and our whole life: "Offer yourselves, body and soul, and carry his holy cross and follow his most holy commandments to the very end" (Off XV 13). (from the introduction to the Way of the Cross meditation with the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, in the Roman Colosseum on April 3, 2026)

The first documented pilgrimage here dates back to 1609. A fixed point for pilgrims on the Johannensweg.

Easy to miss but worth a visit. You can find it directly opposite the church on the raised forecourt of the rectory.
