Simply a beautiful valley

A golden cornfield rustles in the wind, and behind it, the city of Trier stretches out in all its glory. The clear air, the deep blue sky, and the interplay of colors make this moment almost surreal. You can feel the summer here – in every glance, every step, every breath. 📷 Tip: Get your camera or phone out – this place is practically begging for a panoramic photo, especially in the late morning when the light is deep in the field.

A very rare specimen

Thanks to the improvised bridge, a crossing is possible😃

“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 looks 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 hope 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. " (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig in: “Crossroads. Small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety ")

Beautifully carved resting bench on the gallows head tour

In fact, several tree and wood carvings can be admired on this section of the trail. :)
