    You can also call the highlight that, but strictly speaking it is a so-called five-wound cross, one of the most beautiful specimens that I have seen in a long time. A five-wound cross is a crucifix with a symbolic representation of the crucifixion wounds of Christ. Only hands and feet with the nail wounds are shown, the crowning of thorns is represented by the crown itself, the face in the manner of the Turin shroud or the handkerchief of Veronica, the death blow by the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the heart in a wreath of rays, by a sword - or seven swords (Seven Sorrows of Mary) or the lance - pierced, or through the gaping wound on the side with the dripping Holy Blood of Jesus. On the extended cross post, like the crucifix, the INRI, and on the base of the cross, there are also other symbols.

      The old cemetery cross of the Wartenfels cemetery offers with a bench a possibility for a walk break and a moment of retreat.
