✝️🌿 The Caravaca Cross is located on an open plateau above Wiesensteig and offers a beautiful view over the landscape of the Swabian Jura. The special double cross is named after the Spanish city of Caravaca. According to legend, this cross shape was brought to Spain by angels and was considered for centuries a protective symbol against bad weather and a sign of blessing for people, farm, and field.

Hiking

A tranquil spot with a panoramic view: The Caravaca Cross is a typical wayside and field cross of the Swabian Alb. Such crosses once served as protective markers for travelers and as places for brief prayers. Today, it is primarily a perfect photo opportunity with an unobstructed view across the Alb plateau.
