    This small cross between Simonskall and Mestrenger Mühle at the mouth of the Richelbach in the Kall reminds us that a Belgian soldier had a fatal accident there in 1972. His SUV had gone off the road. The attached label reads:

    "On the steep slope opposite, a Belgian soldier had a fatal accident in his jeep during a military exercise in 1972.
    Lord, give him eternal rest.
    In remembrance
    Eifelverein OG Vossenack e.V. "

    It's nice that the Eifelverein remembers the Belgian soldier who died in an accident.
