    It is the place where you are a little closer to God and gives you strength! It's a sign of peace! The height of the cross is 40.7 m and is up to a height of
    27 m accessible.
    The Cross for Peace is intended to encourage people to think about what peace means, to convey to the viewer the greatness of the Christian faith and to accompany visitors strengthened on their pilgrimage of life. The cross should be a hope and reminder for young people for a peaceful future with God's blessing.
    The accessible interior of the cross is divided into 7 thematically different chambers, according to the story of creation, one of which, namely the crossing point of the arms, is intended as a meditation and prayer room as well as for baptisms and weddings

      The imposing cross can be seen from afar and is not only a highlight for pilgrims

        Nice trip; suitable for children; €2 entrance fee.
        Unfortunately there is no viewing platform - everything is barred at the top :(
