The Cross of the Betrothed commemorates Marie Josephe Solheid and François Reiff, who perished on January 21, 1871, during a severe snowstorm in the Venn near Baraque Michel. The couple was on their way to Xhoffraix to obtain marriage documents, but the approximately 20-kilometer journey across the deep snow-covered moor proved fatal.

This wooden cross is probably the most famous highlight near Baraque Michel and commemorates the tragedy of two young lovers. Anyone who does not visit this location as part of a hike near Baraque Michel makes a big mistake, because at some point others who have been here will ask about the location.
