A crossroads marks this beautiful viewpoint. The height is 970 m.
There is a bench and when the sun shines, the wide base of the wall at the crossroads heats up. You can relax wonderfully there.

Hiking

Each of these crosses, which the hiker often encounters in the fields or, as here, at the top of the mountain, is a symbol of remembrance of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. "With us on earth there is His memory, but in the Kingdom of Heaven is His presence: This presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. The memory is our consolation, as we are still wanderers, journeying toward our homeland." (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, c. 1090–1153)
