After being seriously damaged by previously unknown perpetrators in May, the sacred figure has recently been restored and shines in new splendor in its original place. And not without reason: because the “Good Shepherd” is locally regarded as the “guardian” of the climbers and hikers in the popular excursion area.
The “Good Shepherd” has been watching over climbers and hikers in Frankenfels for decades. Apparently he has done a good job so far: “In fifty years we have not had any tragic accidents or dramatic rescue missions in the mountains,” explains Arthur Vorderbrunner, head of the market town in Pielachtal. And this despite the fact that the hiking trails and the path to the Falkensteinmauer are a popular excursion destination. This was now temporarily over: in the spring the holy figure became the target of a brutal act of vandalism.
