This light blue wooden cross, separated from the street by a protective lattice, can be classified as a "Five Wounds Cross": Instead of a complete body, the head of Christ with the crown of thorns, his hands and feet and the heart pierced by the spear are shown shown.

On the opposite street is a colorful construction trailer, stocked with chilled drinks at moderate prices. Everything is based on trust, payment is made in cash. A small cash box (bird house) is hanging at the entrance to the trailer. Outside, tables and benches invite you to linger.

This wooden cross dates back to a time when there was no GPS and everyone traveled on foot or in a carriage. They were important for orientation and were therefore often erected on the main traffic routes.
This modest wayside cross from 1587 is also a work of art.
