Only upon reaching this monument will the passing walker or hiker realize that this is not one of those small, sacred monuments that are frequently encountered. Rather, the wooden cross standing here by the path serves as a war memorial, commemorating the many victims that war and tyranny have claimed in this place, too. Despite the significant distance in time between those days and the present, these memorials lose none of their relevance. Their constant reminder to maintain peace remains the everlasting message.
