Cross stone
The Kreuzstein stands on the southwestern edge of the mountain, on the northern outskirts of the town of Schönwald on the street Am Kreuzstein. It is a 120 cm high granite slab tapering towards the top with a chiseled cross on two semi-arches, embedded in a wheel-shaped structure. You can see horizontal and vertical structures in cross form and recurring carvings on the back. Nothing has been documented about the Kreuzstein.
