    Just above the path of the Eifel loop "Berg und Tal" there are two benches and a cross under two trees that can be seen from afar. A nice place for a break ...

      “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")

        The cross was erected here just a few years ago. the benches are in the shade; by two big trees and you can enjoy a wonderful view.
