Berg der Kreuze
Sight / Miscellaneous
The Hill of Crosses is a popular place of pilgrimage, where thousands of crosses and saints from all over the world, including German Catholics, have been laid down. Often flattened during the Soviet period, more than 100,000 crosses are said to have been counted, which are placed there as thanks or for a specific wish. There is a paid parking lot with a souvenir shop on the access road, where you can also buy crosses. The laying down of the crosses results from a tradition of more than two hundred years.
