Vogelsnack Summit Cross

Imposing out of the forest protruding rock nose with summit cross.
A secured by railing rest area offers a great view, a guest book and a small self-service wine store (was unfortunately empty).

This time (12/2020) there were several small wine bottles with kind regards.
Unfortunately, the door of the vinotheque can no longer be closed because the wood has swollen.

A little information about the cross erected in 1940 and then renewed in 1946, 1968, 1992 and 2017:
The cross (3.30 x 2.00 m) was erected as a sign of resistance against the Nazi ban on church youth organizations as a simple cross on this then hidden place. After the war it was renewed and later received the inscription "Jesus Christ our hope".In the Weseler Bergsteigerlied it says in the refrain:
"Yes, yes, at the Vogelsnack
the world is still rack
there is nature
still really pure"Just a personal assumption about the name finding through observation on site:
Large flocks of wild birds stay at the foot of the rock - even in winter - and find shelter in the rugged rock, the towering deciduous trees and the lush undergrowth. When I visited down there, there was a loud jumble of chirping.
