Surprise at the summit cross, I would probably call it a hill cross. In the little box on the cross is the "Gipfelbuch", in which everyone can write their names. A great idea! The place on the Schmittenhöhe offers a few places to rest, especially benches. The way there is surrounded by wonderful nature. The forest is impressive and very mythical in some places.
