Steinmandl Summit Cross

Great view a must

Each of the summit crosses that hikers often encounter in the mountains, whether with or without the body of the crucified Christ, invites passersby to a brief spiritual rest. Perhaps one or another will be able to encounter God here in a brief prayer. As a prerequisite for a completely different mystical experience of encountering God, beyond such a small sacred monument, Hape Kerkeling, who made a pilgrimage on the Camino Frances in 2001, writes: "I am becoming freer here every day (...) Through all the emotional frequencies, I slowly tuned myself into one frequency and had a wonderful reception. Total serene emptiness is the state that creates a vacuum that God can then completely fill in a relaxed manner." (Hape Kerkeling in "I'm Off Then")
