The stone cross is now located about 800m south of the southern outskirts of Breitau at a small rest area with a bench, on the footpath or cycle path towards Ulfen.
The stone cross has been moved several times, most recently after a traffic accident in 1988, in which the stone broke and has since been repaired.
