There are various legends about the three crosses, which are explained on a sign along the way. Nice resting point on the Cornberger circular hiking trail "C1 - Drei Kreuze" or on the Wartburg path X9. In the refuge with a table in the middle, you can sit comfortably and take a break.

According to tradition, the three rough wooden crosses along the way are associated with the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) and the retreat of French troops. According to this, the crosses are intended to commemorate three French officers who died here. Another variant tells of mutinous French soldiers. The third version says that thieves were hanged here after a failed attack on the French army cash register. More recent newspaper reports link what happened to the passage of Napoleon's army around 50 years later.
