The wayside shrine at the foot of the Gänsköppel shows how the crucified Christ gave Mary as mother to the disciple John and thus to all Christians. The sentence ("Behold your mother") below the picture of the scene comes from the 19th chapter. of the Gospel of John (verse 27).
From the bench a few meters to the left of the wayside shrine you have a beautiful view of Winkels and the protective cloak chapel, which towers above Winkels on the Buchholz opposite.
