You will find this Murder Cross on the dike at Afferden. This refers to the murder of a priest in the 16th century. From here you can walk part of the Walk of Wisdom to Nijmegen.

"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 aims to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has conquered death (...). The cross is part of our lives, just as it was part of the life of Jesus."
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
in: "Wayside crosses... small sacred monuments as signs of popular piety")
