Statue of the bridge saint Nepomuk at the Pitten

The summit cross and crescent moon are currently missing (Nov 2025)

The hollow stone is a rounded pebble measuring approximately one cubic meter with an artificial oval hollow. It is likely a sacrificial stone, as names such as Weihfeld, Weihacker, or Weihwiesen appear on the ridge south of the stone. Two legends also exist about this stone...

Whether the cross in question actually dates from 1642 cannot be verified. The inscription mentioned is missing today, and written sources are unavailable. In 1499, the "Rechgärtl" was already mentioned as a field name. Its location is curious, as it stands in a shallow, almost level hollow near the Kulmriegel. At that time, numerous finds confirm that a Roman road, the so-called Hochstraße, ran through here. Just a few hundred meters from the Rehgartl Cross, 21 Roman silver denarii were found.

The bridge saint can also be found here.

Saint John of Nepomuk was a priest (Vicar General of the Archbishop) in Bohemia who died a martyr's death in Prague in 1393. He was thrown from the Charles Bridge in Prague into the Vltava River by royal order and drowned. His statue can still be found on or near many bridges or elsewhere near rivers. He is not only considered a popular "bridge saint", but is also the patron of the seal of confession. In many depictions of his person he holds a cross in one hand, sometimes he puts a finger to his lips with the other as a sign of silence (which was heard during confession). The memorial day of Saint John of Nepomuk in the calendar of saints is March 20th.

Right at the exit of the via ferrata is the large "summit cross"
