몸브론‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪12‬개의 천연기념물

The garden is currently closed 😞 but will reopen in spring.

Accessible from various directions and/or accessible as a circular walk. The walk up the mountain is quite long.

At this spot, in the forest northeast of Lviv, the trees give way slightly, creating a clearing where, at an altitude of 420 meters, stands the small sacred monument known as the "Croix Saint-Hubert." A low stone wall and a wooden fence create a small "sacred precinct," at the center of which is the well-preserved cross. At the very bottom of the lower section is the well-known scene from the Life of Hubertus, featuring a stag with a cross between its antlers. Above it, at the very bottom, are reliefs of two figures, the one on the left identified as a monk with his tonsure and habit; between the two images, the year 1786. Above this, rises the actual cross, which also bears the body of the crucified Christ.

This pedunculate oak has been registered as a "monument tree" since 2014. Its girth of almost 5 meters, its span of more than 30 meters, and its height of approximately 25 meters make it a remarkable tree. Strollers pause to admire its splendor. Its tortured form reflects its centuries-old history. This ancient tree, truly majestic, has probably witnessed significant historical events, such as the Revolution, since the reign of Louis XIV. It must have been a fine sight when, in 1814, the "Muehlgraben" cross was erected almost under its shadow. It is one of those wounded oaks, one that doesn't break even when struck by lightning. From its venerable summit, it can contemplate almost three centuries. Serene, majestic, and dignified, it embodies, with another oak at its side, the symbols of strength, resilience, and invincibility.

Beautiful, very playful and colorful garden

Beautiful wayside cross with a bench opposite. I liked to take a break here. Almost at the highest point of my tour. See also: https://www.club-vosgien-lemberg.net/wordpress/?page_id=178

Wikipedia The Twelve Apostles Stone (French: Pierre des douze Apôtres; also Breitenstein, Latin: Petra lata) is a prehistoric menhir on the connecting road between Meisenthal, Mouterhouse (both in the Moselle department) and Wingen-sur-Moder (Bas-Rhin department) in the Northern Vosges Nature Park (Parc Naturel Régional des Vosges du Nord). Since the Middle Ages it has formed a border marker between Alsace and Lorraine. The monolith, carved from a single block of red sandstone, is about four meters high. Its history is unclear. It is believed that it is a cult stone from the Celtic ("druidic") period. In 1787 the upper part was designed as a crucifixion group (the crucified Christ with two Marys). A simple relief with the twelve apostles was carved out below.

A Celtic menhir that was redesigned during Christianization. The Twelve Apostles Stone is an unmistakable landmark in the Northern Vosges.
