Text according to the information panel: The large, sculpted stone was erected during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, around the 18th century. It marked the border between the lordships of Echternach and Vianden, thus forming the border region between the Duchy of Luxembourg and the Electorate of Trier. The east side of the stone displays the coat of arms of Echternach Abbey: Saint Willibrord with his bishop's staff. The west side, however, bears the coat of arms of the County of Vianden with a rampant lion. On the Echternach side, one can also see the letters A.O. (Abbatia Ordinis – Abbey Order) and E.E. (Echternachensis Ecclesiae – Church of Echternach). On the Vianden side, the letters C.V. (Comitatus Vianden – County of Vianden) can be read. The stone was restored and re-erected in the 1970s. Originally, it stood slightly further south, directly on the historical border. Today it is located on the hiking trail between Bollendorf and Wallendorf.

Perched atop a rocky plateau stands this simple summit cross, which gives the place its name. From here, an impressive view unfolds across the Sauer Valley, the wooded heights of the Eifel region, and as far as Luxembourg. The Kreuzlay is located on the Ferschweiler-Bollendorf plateau and is part of several popular hiking trails, including the Felsenweg 2 (Rock Trail 2) and the "Grüne Hölle" (Green Hell) route. The ascent leads along narrow paths and past rock formations. Due to its scenic beauty and geological significance, the Kreuzlay is considered one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Southern Eifel.

A small hut with a bench stands next to the Maria Theresa Stone. A historic boundary stone from the 18th century. A detailed information panel explains it.

Narrow paths between the rocks and great passages, trees and rocks covered in moss, rightly give the tour its name "Green Hell".

It's no coincidence that the Bollendorf hiking trail "Green Hell" took second place in Germany's most beautiful hiking trail 2024. As a special treat, the tour is also available as an audio guide app with plenty of additional information.

A beautiful vantage point beneath the cross. Two benches invite you to rest. A box is attached to the cross below. At first, we expected a summit book, but the box was empty.
