    After the snow melted, a man who had been missing for months was found dead and buried. The bereaved had the cross erected.

      “Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus.
      So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”
      (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
      in: "Crossroads... small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")

        Boulder cross.
        -Monument-


        A little off the path, signs lead us along a narrow path to the cross.

        It is believed that around 1800, after the snow melted, the body of a man who had been missing for months was found and buried here. The bereaved had the grave cross put up.
