The cross tells the dramatic story of two young people who wanted to get married. In January 1871, they decided to cross La Fagne to get the necessary papers for marriage in the neighboring village. Two months later, when the snow melted, the two bodies were found...

The cross of the betrothed was erected in memory of Marie Josephe Solheid and François Reiff, who died on January 21, 1871 in a terrible snowstorm in the Fagnes, not far from Baraque Michel. The engaged couple were on their way to Xhoffraix to obtain marriage papers. The approximately 20 km long route led over the snow-covered Venn, from which the two should not come out.

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.
