    This is clearly a sacred site of our ancestors; three different stone crosses stand here in the middle of the woods.

    Two lovely benches with inscriptions invite you to take a break. ☺️😉

    Three atonement crosses side by side with a bench in the middle of the forest.
    According to tradition, a butcher is said to have killed a mother and her children here.

    Not easy to find, about 2.5 km northeast. from the place in the Rastenberger forest on the old way to Tauhardt one finds these three, more exactly two crosses and a Langbalken of a cross.
