According to tradition, the citizens of Wendehausen would gather for worship on fine May Sundays at this weather-protected cross on the road to Katharinenberg. The religious symbol, which disappeared in the restricted area within Germany, was re-erected at its historic location in 1992.

At a triangular junction, you'll find the impressive Katharinenberg weather cross, erected in 1992.

There's also a small rest area.
