The name of the path was chosen in honor of the 125 years ago in the pursuit of poachers murdered by Wredeschen forester Gies and Steinsträter. In the name of the drama of the events is to find their expression.

History in the forest: To commemorate the foresters who were murdered 125 years ago by poachers, the Försterkreuz was erected.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to build “their” cross on this spot. (...) These crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who conquered death (…). The cross is part of our lives, just as it was part of the life of Jesus.
So I hope that many people ... visit the crosses, whether as places of silence and taking a breath before God, whether as places of community gathering, prayer and praise of God.
