    The Prince's Cross in the Oytal is of course a special cross with a historical background.
    In 1868, Prince Luitpold of Bavaria, the later ruler of the kingdom, was here with guests on a chamois hunt and was endangered by a serious rockfall, but was saved.
    In 1875, he had this mighty cross erected in memory of this, and since then it has been called the Prince's Cross.
