The red cross marks a pass that was used by historic trade routes and was so important that the Romans built a fort to control it. The castle in Oberreifenberg later served the same function in the Middle Ages.

A sandstone cross that no longer looks red due to environmental influences and weather. There is also a restaurant at the crossroads and many parking spaces in the immediate and nearby area. Many hiking trails run past this spot, including the Limes Adventure Trail.

(688 m above sea level) - The Red Cross opens the entrance from Königstein or the B8 into the Wilstal valley. This pass has been used since time immemorial. The Romans secured the passage with the small Feldberg Roman fort (⊙) (the fort is not directly on the pass because of the water supply, but about 1 km away at the Weilquelle). In the Middle Ages, Reifenberg Castle secured the transition. At the top of the pass, the L 3024 branches off over the Großer Feldberg to Sandplacken. leads.https: //de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotes_Kreuz_ (Taunus)
