The baroque cross has an altarpiece and roof-like decorations on the front surface and the two side surfaces of the stem foot. The original inscription "Anno 1713 -John Hermes" is handed down, but no longer read. Above this you can see a Pietà carved out of the sandstone.

If you walk along the old route you have to make a detour to get to the stone cross. Here we recommend a loop around the Schalkenmehrener Maar on the Hohe List. It's right there on the way
