    Tips

    This typical atonement cross was made at the beginning of the 16th century. Usually due to a homicide or death that occurred at that location. Typical are the "soul holes" carved into the upper part of the cross, through which the soul of the deceased could escape. The current name came about because some Swedish soldiers are said to have died here during the Thirty Years' War.

      Junction of some hiking trails. So not only visited by pedal friends.

        At least 12 hiking trails meet here - but there was no one there today. Right next to the stone there is an information station about growing renewable energy (in this case sunflowers).
