This high summit cross has crowned Monte Acuto like a steel colossus for around 100 years. The fact that the construction appears very filigree despite the enormous dimensions is due to the open steel construction, which in turn takes up the basic principle of the half-timbered construction with horizontal and vertical beams and cross braces - which has been tried and tested for centuries. The builders of the cross dedicated it to the victims of the First World War, and so it towers over the heights as a warning to peace that can be seen from afar.

The path that leads up is very difficult to tackle due to two factors:
1 - The steep slope of some sections
2- the ground is almost all of stones that do not allow for a good ride.
Sometimes you have to walk along the edge of the path because it is impassable by stones
