Kreuzberg Summit Cross (Geiselbach)

A very soothing path... ideal for winding down

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus.
So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”

Way of the Cross with 14 stone wayside shrines, which depict Jesus' suffering on the way to the crucifixion. The Way of the Cross ends on the summit of the Kreuzberg, where a stone high cross stands in a small square. The Way of the Cross starts at the edge of the forest on the forest path, which is an extension of the forest road from Geiselbach.
