Something like this, or something similar, once happened more than 300 years ago in the forest near Dierscheid: Johann Wilhelm von Dischet sat in a thick thorn hedge, holding his breath. Men with barking dogs walked close by. They were looking for him. They wanted his money, which he had earned from a cattle trade on the Moselle and which he had boasted about after a few glasses of wine at the inn in Hetzerath. The robbers walked by with their dogs, and Johann Wilhelm von Dischet breathed a sigh of relief. He had escaped once again. In gratitude, he erected a cross, the Hansen Cross. One day, however, the Hare Cross—or Hannes, as the cross is affectionately called—was missing for two months, despite a thorough search. Fortunately, it was found by chance in the forest on a sawn-off tree trunk and could be reattached to its original location.

This cross is a thank you cross donated by Bernart Schmit von Zemmer. After an accident while working in the fields, he was seriously injured, was rescued and survived. The sign shows the year 1635.

The tower is still closed, a decision on how to proceed has not yet been made. Hikes through the eventful Meulenwald, even without climbing the tower, are always recommended.
