A very special place of power awaits you here between endless fields and with a view of the vastness of the Westerwald: The white shepherd's cross is not only beautiful to look at, but also invites you to pause.

"Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect "their" cross at this spot. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our lives, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people ... will visit the wayside crosses, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of community gathering, prayer and praise of God." (Dean Rainald M. Ollig in "Wayside Crosses")
