Even though it does not tower above the houses in the village, this small sacred monument is of a striking height and is clearly visible. The cross, made of stone - possibly granite - has a beautiful, dignified place. It rests on a large, multi-tiered base, the lowest level of which could serve as a seat, thus inviting the passing hiker to stop for a short spiritual rest.
