Very nice little rest area with a wayside cross and Mercator monument in front of the gates of the old town of Gangelt.

Who would have thought that: The great cosmographer and cartographer Gerhard Mercator spent part of his youth in Gangelt. In memory of the world-famous city citizen, a monument stands at the intersection of the 6th eastern longitude and the 51st parallel.
