Tips

“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.”
(Dechant Rainald M. Ollig in "Crossroads")

Right next to the fishing ponds there is a small hiking hut and seating area.

Inscription on the wayside cross:

"Here in nature
you find God's trace,
do you want to see deeper,
stand before this cross."
