“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the eyes of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. "
(Dean Rainald M. Ollig in "Wegekreuze")

The whole mountain is full of golden yellow tulips that grow between the vines.
They are relics from an earlier time.
The tulips can be viewed very well from the path. You don't necessarily have to walk between the vines and trample the tender plants.

The steep ascent to the 246 m high Petersberg from Gau-Odernheim is also called Herrgottspfad, as processions have been taking place here on religious holidays for centuries.
