Description

From the church, past the "Im Dorner" group of houses, you reach the road to Bad Schönau, which you follow to Krumbach. Here you go to the church and continue on the marked path. You soon cross the highway and reach the next village. The marked trail leads away from the roads through the beautiful landscape of Wechselland. The Kirchberg parish church greets pilgrims from afar. A special tip in Kirchberg is the Calvary. It can be reached on foot from the village in around half an hour. It was built after the end of the plague in 1713/14. In chapels, realistic, almost life-size depictions show the mysteries of the Sorrowful Rosary.
