カッツヴィンケル（ジーク）の絶景の山頂・トップ12

Between two paths, there's not only a bench for a breather, but also, right next to it, a wayside cross, inviting you to take a short spiritual rest. The small sacred monument standing here is made of wood and topped with a gabled roof. It doesn't bear the body of the crucified Christ, but it does bear two inscriptions: In the upper section of the longitudinal beam, the capital letters "INRI," often found on crosses, are an abbreviation (in Latin) for "Jesus Christ, King of the Jews." Much rarer, however, is the inscription—here on the crossbeam—with the words "Save your soul," whose white lettering stands out clearly against the dark wood of the cross.

You have to look carefully, somewhat "unobtrusively," to see "where" the sign hangs on the tree. It's best to start looking at approximately the highest points.

Very strenuous mountain coming from Friesenhagen

Phew, coming up here from Friesenhagen, it was very exhausting.

A beautiful all-round view over Büschergrund

The hiking trail is worth it. Pretty environment

A great place and a beautiful view

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the eyes of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I wish that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God.
