Since the beginning of May (2025), the hut on the Tremmelberg has had new owners! Highly recommended! The soup (Grammelstrudel) was a main course for two people for €5 and was incredibly good!

Valerie has already explained details of the history of the small sacred monument found here in her article. The three great Christian virtues FAITH + HOPE + LOVE, which are cited for this special hiking highlight called the "Tower Cross", are of biblical origin and were already mentioned by the Apostle Paul in his letter to the church of Corinth: + "For now, faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love." he writes in the thirteenth chapter (1 Cor. 13:13), which is also known as the "Song of Songs" (and is often used as a Bible reading at weddings, for example).
