In front of this small, sacred monument—with its special dedication as a PEACE CROSS—I would like to offer the viewer a short text by Christiane Völkel, who personally describes the Apostle Paul's letter to the church in Philippi as "one of the beautiful passages that always touches my heart." Paul writes: "Do not be anxious about anything, but with thanksgiving present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ." (Philippians 4:6-7) She comments as follows: "You really have to let these two sentences sink in word for word! They contain everything of 'Good News' (...) And another beautiful aspect that moves me in the second sentence: It says that prayer accomplishes something. Namely, finding peace within oneself and walking one's path in life from fellowship with Jesus."

View from the cross

When the weather is clear, you can see the Germania near Rüdesheim. In front of it, near Bingen, lies the pilgrimage church of St. Rochus Chapel on a hill.

The Peace Cross is located on the “Ockenheimer Hörnchen”. After memorial fires were regularly lit there, a memorial and peace cross was erected in 1952 to commemorate the victims of the Second World War. Source: https://ockenheim.de/mahn-und-friedenskreuz/

Lavishly designed rest area with a beautiful view.

A great place with one of the most beautiful views of the Rhine Valley, Rheingau, Ockenheim etc.

A nice place to let your eyes wander.
