    The “Crucifix” (595 m above sea level) is an iron cross at a crossroads between Ilsenburg and the Eckertalsperre. It is on the border path and at the shelter opposite you can get the 3rd stamp of the HWN.

            The area around the crossroads was probably already settled in the 17th century. A crucifix erected earlier was destroyed during the construction of the inner-German border. The current iron cross, mounted on a boulder, was re-erected in 1990.
