The Three Crosses are located on the eastern Franzosenstraße and there are a number of stories surrounding the three crosses. Locals are said to have killed French soldiers, or there was a mutiny among the French soldiers in the course of which three officers were killed, and the last version is about a failed raid in which the three robbers were executed.
Overall, a very beautiful place with historical significance that can be easily incorporated into cycling and hiking tours.
