Hiking

When a hiker or walker passes by here from the direction of the village of Olef (on the Olef River), they initially see only a hollow in the hillside, surmounted by the top of a wooden cross. Only immediately before it does it become apparent that this is not one of the usual small sacred monuments in the form of a wayside cross, but rather the local memorial to the victims of the two World Wars, which Nierfeld also suffered between 1914 and 1918 and 1939 and 1945.
