Tips from the Community

In the proverbial "good old days," this (former) windmill, prominently positioned on the hill and clearly visible from afar, must have made a profound impression on the viewer. However, this changed long ago: Only the ruined remains of the once proudly towering tower with its once sweeping wings remain as a sad testament to that bygone era. Today's visitors probably enjoy less the sight of the ruins than—at least in good weather—the beautiful view of the wide plains that unfold before them.

It's not uncommon to find a Monument aux Morts in the immediate vicinity of the local church, which here boasts a very defensive-looking facade – the church's two massive, round towers could easily be imagined as part of a castle's fortifications. These monuments, found in almost every town, still serve an important dual function in the 21st century: They keep the memory of the victims of war and tyranny alive and thus serve as a constant reminder of peace.

Only the two wooden beams form a cross in its simplest form. And yet, this small, sacred monument—like all crosses encountered by bikers along the way—is an essential Christian symbol. It stands for the memory of his crucifixion, but at the same time also for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The important founder of the order, Bernard of Clairvaux, said: + "With us on earth, there is His memory, but in the kingdom of heaven is His presence: This presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. The memory is our consolation, as we are still wanderers, traveling toward the Fatherland."

Excellent discovery. I'm not the best performer, but I enjoyed doing it. With technique, it should be a treat.
