The Schusterkreuz stood on the forest path to Eisenstadt, ½ hour from Hornstein. Since 2010 there has been a kind of cobbler's stone at the point where a cobbler is said to have frozen to death while walking.

On the forest path to Eisenstadt, half an hour from Hornstein, stood the Shoemaker's Cross. Since 2010, a kind of shoemaker's stone has stood at the spot where a shoemaker is said to have frozen to death while traveling.
