Stuifen Summit Cross

Actually a nice place with a great view towards Reichenbach on one side and the Rechberg on the other. Unfortunately one bench is in dire need of repair.
Barbecuing is currently prohibited.

With the erection of the twelve-meter-high cross, the third Kaiserberg also gained a landmark that can be seen from afar.
The cross was created through a private initiative.
It was craftsmen from Waldstetten and Wißgoldingen who built and erected this cross. It is made of a weatherproof glued larch wood beam. Although larch wood is naturally very resistant to moisture, the upper surfaces of the wood were given a copper coating as weather protection. It was not painted, so that a natural patina will form over time. The cross is supported by two galvanized steel beams that rest on a solid concrete foundation.

On September 18, 2011, the new Stuifen cross was erected and inaugurated. Nevertheless, there are two more "summit crosses" on the way to the highest point of the Stuifen (757 m). The summit cross erected in 1967 and a little further on at the highest point the summit stone with a cross that was attached to a dead tree.
At the beautiful viewing point there is a barbecue area, a small hut and a very beautiful "compass" copper plate with reliefs of the surrounding mountains.
