What a glimpse into the Thuringian Rhön - the rise of chains or a detour from the Green Belt to this summit are really worthwhile.

The summit cross is an important landmark and from there there is an absolutely magnificent view of the valleys of the Ulster and its tributaries. The nearby Rockenstuhl with its distinctive transmission mast is clearly visible.

"Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect "their" cross at this spot. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and aims to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our lives, just as it was part of Jesus' life. So I hope that many people ... will visit the wayside crosses, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of community gathering, prayer and praise of God." (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig in: "Wayside crosses... small sacred monuments as signs of popular piety")
