A consistently beautiful singletrack, whether going uphill or downhill, also very nice for running.

In 1980, a storm washed the Welleröder Atonement Cross out of the Steinbach stream. It had been considered lost for decades, but was so well known in ancient times that a map from 1859 already referred to the parcel of land where it was erected as the "Steinkreuzerfeld" (Stone Cross Field). Atonement crosses are legal monuments dating from the 13th to 16th centuries and commemorate a homicide. In an atonement agreement, the perpetrator committed, among other things, to erecting such a cross. The church's efforts thus succeeded in curbing the blood feud that had previously been practiced for centuries. The Welleröder Atonement Cross, which overall can be considered a rather unsophisticated work, features a special feature, using a kind of scratch-line technique, depicting a person (Christ?) presumably holding a small cross in one hand. Tools were usually used in the depiction, indicating the profession of the victim or the instrument used in the crime. Source: Söhrewald History Circle

I haven't seen any birds here yet, but there's a lot of nature overall - and it's only 1-2 km from the city center.

This atonement cross is based on a legend that tells of two siblings arguing so badly that they died from their injuries. What's special about this place is that the cross, which presumably dates back to the 15th century, was lost for decades. Only a storm and flooding in 1980 unearthed the cross. It was erected at its current location in 1982.
