Hiking

Mounted on a stone, the hiker will find a not very large but beautifully crafted field cross - or perhaps more of a memorial cross? - before. Below the longitudinal beam there is a figure of a girl with her head bowed and a wreath in her hand, so she can be interpreted as a mourner. However, there is no further information on site about the founder and his intentions.

It's the Astropiler on the Stockert ;-).

Hiking

Looking from here to the south you can see a radio telescope on the ridge. It could be either in Effelsberg or the Astropeiler on the Stockert (which would be closer).
