Hiking

In the expanse of the fields between Dünstekoven and the Marian pilgrimage site of Buschhoven, this wooden wayside cross / field cross stands in front of a tree, next to it a bench invites you to rest. It bears the "IHS" in red letters - at the intersection of the longitudinal and transverse beams - and a plaque underneath with the inscription:
"Wanderer, whoever you are, remember that Christ will one day be your judge".

Hiking

A simple wooden cross with the typical “hiker saying”. A little change on a monotonously long field hiking trail.
