Hiking

This sacral wayside shrine standing by the roadside is a particularly designed wayside cross: The crossbeam bears the inscription "Gelobt sei Jesus" and the upright beam the continuation "Christus". Furthermore, at the top of the upright beam, the often-seen INRI inscription tablet is not attached, but the attentive observer will notice the two intertwined letters "X" and "P", which in Greek are the initial letters for Christ.
