    Hiking

    The old cross was first mentioned in 1593. The atonement or memorial cross commemorates an unpunished act of bloodshed or a deceased buried in unconsecrated ground. Later, it served as a boundary stone and was relocated several times. Whether there is a connection to the Dernbach "Galgenberg" (Gallows Hill) is no longer verifiable.

    It later served as a boundary stone and was moved several times. It is no longer possible to prove whether there is a connection with the Dernbach "Galgenberg".
