      After climbing the narrow paths, hikers can enjoy a great view of Hambach Castle and the wine villages of Diedesfeld and Kirrweiler.
      In the year of need, 1947, the cross was carried up and anchored in the rock by men, some of whom had only recently returned from captivity and wanted to send a public message.

        Located above the Hambach Castle - great view - with a huge wooden cross. The Atonement Cross was originally built in 1947.
