シュタッテックのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

この二本の木の梁だけが、ここに最もシンプルな形で十字架を形成しています。しかし、この神聖な小さな記念碑は、ハイカー/バイカーが道中で出会うすべての十字架と同様に、重要なキリスト教のシンボルです。それは彼の磔刑の記憶を表すだけでなく、同時にイエス・キリストの復活をも表しています。著名なフランスの修道院創設者であり教会教師である聖ベルナルドゥス・デ・クラルヴァルから、次の引用があります。 + 「地上の私たちには彼の記念がありますが、天の国には彼の臨在があります。この臨在は、すでに至福に達した人々の喜びです。記憶は、まだ旅人であり、祖国に向かって旅をしている私たちにとっての慰めです。」

JOHN THE BAPTIST (also called JOHN THE BAPTIST), to whom this mountain chapel is entrusted as a patron saint, is a man mentioned in the Bible at the very beginning of the New Testament, as he is half a year older than Jesus. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After the proclamation of the Incarnation of God through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who, in her old age, will give birth to a son, John the Baptist. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sin to the Jewish population, and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, where he is filled with the Holy Spirit, who descends upon him from heaven. John is therefore considered his forerunner/paver in Christian theology. The Evangelist Luke writes: + "A voice calls in the desert: Prepare the way for the Lord! Make straight his paths! (...) And all people will see the salvation of God." Saint John the Baptist has two commemoration days in the calendar of saints: that of his birth is on June 24, exactly six months before Christmas Eve; that of his beheading is on August 29.

Gasthaus Martinelli unfortunately closed forever!!!!

Currently (Nov 2024) it looks like a renovation is underway here. Someone is putting up a fence around the house - to keep hikers away and fence off private property? (See my photos)
