Hiking

Field crosses in South Limburg are small religious monuments found throughout the landscape—along roads, fields, and farms. They stem from a centuries-old Catholic tradition and served as places of prayer, gratitude, or protection, as well as commemorations for accidents or other events. These crosses are an important part of Limburg's cultural and landscape heritage and give the hilly landscape its characteristic, contemplative atmosphere.
