The directions are incorrect after the pond. You have to climb the slope via a right-hand bend, marked on the left. It should be dry and warm. The temperature difference in the forest is huge. Half of the pond was frozen even though it was 15°. Other than that, a really pleasant walk.

The stone has the shape of a cross. The number 1649 is engraved as an inscription. Who erected the cross and why is no longer known.

Enjoyed a piece of cake with coffee at slightly cooler temperatures. The beer garden is very idyllic.
