Hiking
On a rock above a rest area, the hiker encounters another small sacred monument. However, this one—known as the "Messner's Cross"—is not designed in the usual manner for most crucifixes: The base for the cross is the upwardly open fork of a tree trunk, which is then capped with a protective gable roof. The resulting space between the branches reveals the actual cross, made of light wood and bearing the body of the crucified Christ.
