The steep ascent to the Hengstberg is rewarded with a schnapps that is available at the summit cross. There is also a summit book. It is essential to enter :-)

“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 looks 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 climb is unusually steep. Should not be able to be done on a wet surface.
But it's also fascinating, adventurous and fun.
Once at the top there is a really special surprise waiting for this area! :-)
