“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the eyes 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 overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. "
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig

The nice place to rest is now only a little broken and is located diagonally opposite the cross (on the other side of the forest path).

I find that a little strange now: I didn't see the cross, but the white stone with the quote from Hildegard von Bingen. The bench-table-bench combination to the left of it was (still) completely broken.
