Idyllic scene by the stream

The light trail has been enhanced this year 2025/26 with "the three wise men" (wooden sculptures).

The idea of setting up the Schnausi wagon here is ideal, and the table with two chairs overlooking Mount Rigi is perfect. I had to get myself a piece of the homemade chocolate cake right away.

A brochure from the parish of St. Martin in Root provides information on the history of the power place Michael's Cross: "Around 1,500 years ago, the pious Medardus decided to build a wooden hut in the Meggerwald forest to live there. While he was busy felling trees, a boy came to him and asked Medardus to take two tree trunks on his shoulders and follow him. After a four-hour hike, the two arrived at a hill near Root. There, the boy asked the hermit to build a cross from the two trunks. With the words: 'I am the Archangel Michael, sent by my Lord Jesus Christ to mark and consecrate this place with the sign of the holy cross,' the boy took on the form of the Archangel Michael. Since then, the hill on which the chapel stands today has been called Michael's Cross.
