    Although the current location of the Maar Cross is no longer the original one, it offers hikers a relaxing place to rest and a fantastic view of the Schalkenmehrener Maar and the vast volcanic landscape. A saying was carved into the beam: “Maarkreuz be mentioned, for our salvation in this country. Emergency year 1932.” Since its construction, many pilgrims and hikers have taken a break on the mountain ridge with a view of the two maars.

      The Maarkreuz stands in an exposed position. And what could be nicer today than standing on the edge of a hiking trail and offering hikers an opportunity to pause, to linger?

        Very nice place and viewing point at the Maarkreuz above the Schalkenmehrener Maar. With its inscription "You are called the Maar Cross, for the salvation of us and this country. Emergency year 1932", the cross commemorates severe thunderstorms and the resulting damage and crop failures.
