An impressive wayside cross from 1721 – simple yet powerful, framed by an ornately wrought iron railing. It stands on a small hill overlooking the hilly landscape near Thionville and invites you to pause for a moment – in keeping with the ancient pilgrimage tradition.
Tip: Come early in the morning – then the cross lies still in the light, and the place exudes a special sense of tranquility. Ideal for a quiet moment on your route through Grand Est.
