The approximately 3.50 meter high wayside cross was erected in 1842 and commemorates the Meis couple.
Since then, one has reached the crossroads via several steps. The square around the wayside cross was paved and bordered with stones. A hedge separates the square from its surroundings.

Next to the stone cross is a nice hut for a rest sheltered from the wind.
