The cross not far from the Stripsenjochhaus got its name from Johann Tavonaro. He was the first hut host at the Stripsenjochhaus and erected the cross on the occasion of his 150th tour to the Totenkirchl. It is not far from the house and is worth the short detour. The view there is very nice.

The Tavonaro Cross stands directly next to the Stripsenjochhaus in the Kaiser Mountains and is a quiet, impressive monument amidst the Tyrolean mountains. It was erected in memory of Hans Tavonaro, the legendary mountain guide and hut keeper of the Stripsenjochhaus. Tavonaro shaped life and mountaineering in the Wilder Kaiser for decades and was considered a true "Kaiser expert."

From the cross, you have a breathtaking view of the mighty north faces of Totenkirchl, Predigtstuhl, and Fleischbank.
