Historic path spider that connects communities such as Irsch, Ockfen, Schoden and Wiltingen with Vierherrenborn, Steinbachweier and Zerf. Legend has it that the cross was originally built by a lord who was able to save himself in a wolf attack on the old oak. There are two versions of the legend.

The age of the oak is estimated to be more than 200 years and already protected in the 1930s.

There is the possibility to rest at two tables.

Old oak forests, unfortunately the spruces are almost all dead.

“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.”
