St. Leonhard and the Way of the Cross

Open
Meditative hike 4
There is a very special meditative walk on the Calvary. It begins behind the platform of the cattle market. Around 1680, the Schwarzenberg family erected a Way of the Cross with fourteen stations on the Leonhardiberg. One was added later. Each one has a small text explaining which station it is and who "adopted" it for preservation.
