The plate cross in Näfels is 80 years old and celebrated
What Capuchin Father Reinhold Wick achieved 80 years ago is something special. With the help of young people from Glarner, he erected a high white cross on the Plattekopf.
Näfels. - Reinhold Wick, president of the Catholic youth organization of Jungsodalen in Näfels, made it possible in 1934. Together with young people and many volunteers, he erected the slab cross above Näfels. As a "Cross of the Redeemer", it was intended to commemorate 1900 years since the death of Christ.
