Kalvarienberg Füssen, Calvary site in Füssen, Germany.
Kalvarienberg Füssen is a pilgrimage site with chapels scattered on the slopes of a hill above the town. At the summit stands a viewing platform with three crosses and a metal sculpture of Christ.
This site was founded in the 19th century by parish priest Johann Baptist Graf, following the traditions of theologian Johann Michael Sailer. This movement brought such pilgrimage sites throughout the Bavarian region.
The path upward passes several small chapels depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ. These stations invite visitors to pause and reflect as they make their way higher.
The circuit is well marked with stable paths leading uphill and downhill. The route suits different fitness levels and access is possible throughout the year.
The summit offers views of Neuschwanstein Castle and Hohenschwangau Castle in the landscape below. On clear days, the ridge of the Bavarian Alps is visible along the horizon.
