The Kreuzberg is the biggest visitor magnet in the Bavarian Rhön. All year round, the Franciscan monastery Kreuzberg with its monastery beer attracts holidaymakers from near and far to the Holy Mountain of the Franconians. After a strengthening meal in the monastery tavern, the ascent to the summit of the Kreuzberg can be managed, from where you get a magnificent view into the Southern Rhön, the Hessian Rhön and the Thuringian Forest.
