Crucifix at the crossroads in Wörth an der Lafnitz

Highlight • Religious Site

Small sacred monuments depicting the crucified Christ can be found not only in villages and towns or in nature, but also in literature. Perhaps the most famous crucifix of this type can be found in the work of Giovanni Guareschi (1908 to 1968). He is the spiritual father of the humorous stories about the two protagonists 'Don Camillo' and 'Peppone'. Guareschi incorporated another main character into his stories – known and popular far beyond Italy's borders –: the crucified Christ, who speaks to Don Camillo from the crucifix on the high altar. The author himself makes the following comment:
"So one must explain: If the priests feel offended by Don Camillo, they can smash a candlestick on my skull for all I care; if the communists feel offended by Peppone, they can break a club on my back; but if someone feels offended by Christ's speeches, there's nothing one can do. Whoever speaks in my stories... is my Christ, that is, the voice of my conscience. My personal business, my cause. And therefore: each for himself, and God for all." (G. Guareschi)

Bench at the forest edge

Highlight • Rest Area

This is a great place to rest. It's also a good spot to start a tour. Right next to the bench is a paved parking area for cars, which I used today.

The obelisk of this war memorial is crowned by an eagle, the proud heraldic animal of many nations. The dialect group "Bläck Fööss" from Cologne (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany) wrote a song about a memorial to the fallen in Cologne's Südstadt district, which is also crowned by an eagle. The lyrics by Hans Knipp read:

"But as long as the eagle stands on the stone, as long as it lasts, it will be good,

for when it once flew, it only brought misery and trouble.

When I see a lonely shadow above me in the stone,

then I think of you and myself,

and I have only one wish,

that the eagle never flees again."

Anyone who is not afraid of the Rhenish dialect and would like to listen to the anti-war song of the Bläck Fööss can do so at the following link =>>
