A particularly striking small sacred monument awaits the hiker or walker here: the stone cross, whose white color contrasts well with the surrounding landscape, rests on a pedestal whose cantilever plate is unfortunately damaged. Even the most casual observer, however, will notice something quite different: It's not the body of the crucified Christ that is visible on the longitudinal and transverse beams, but rather the instruments of the Passion. For example, the crown of thorns can be seen in the crossing.
