Cycling

This stone wayside cross dates back to a time when there was no GPS, and everyone traveled on foot or by carriage. They were important for orientation and were therefore often erected on major traffic routes.

Hiking

The cross at a crossroads, on a path or a road, at the edge of a field or in the forest serves as a guide, to mark difficult or dangerous places or as an indication of a crossroads. Wayside crosses are still often marked on hiking maps today. These wayside crosses are often designed as crucifixes and made of wood, stone or metal.
