Directly on the St. Francis Way, the pilgrim will find this simple cross, on which pilgrims place stones they have brought with them, but also photos, pieces of paper with requests, rosaries and other devotional items.

This cross, made from two simple beams, does not have a body, but it has to carry a comparatively heavy load. Many hikers and pilgrims have tried to build a cairn on the two arms of the crossbeam and even on the top of the longitudinal beam.
