This small route takes you to probably the most beautiful shelter on the Brunnenberg in Bad Elster. Enjoy this place of quiet and retreat.

In the Royal Gardens of Bad Elster, you enter the richly branched path network of the forest park and up to the Kreuzkapelle. The ascent is moderate. The beautiful place of worship was built as a shelter in 1877 and is a place for quiet retreat. A babbling fountain and the solitude of the forest offer the perfect setting. Pay attention to the particularly artistic design of the windows and walls! (Further information on site)

The path there leads directly past the over 100-year-old NaturTheater facility, today Bad Elster's modern open-air arena.

Enjoy the forest on the Brunnenberg with various tree species, lush green moss, and an area still characterized by a vegetation untypical for this region today and under nature protection: the Wacholderhübel.

The return path leads you with a beautiful panoramic view through the district of Reuth finally back to the Royal Gardens of Bad Elster.
