There was a lot of excursion traffic on Sunday. We took the route from Philippsburg via Erbsenthal. That was quieter!

At this spot, in the forest northeast of Lviv, the trees give way slightly, creating a clearing where, at an altitude of 420 meters, stands the small sacred monument known as the "Croix Saint-Hubert." A low stone wall and a wooden fence create a small "sacred precinct," at the center of which is the well-preserved cross. At the very bottom of the lower section is the well-known scene from the Life of Hubertus, featuring a stag with a cross between its antlers. Above it, at the very bottom, are reliefs of two figures, the one on the left identified as a monk with his tonsure and habit; between the two images, the year 1786. Above this, rises the actual cross, which also bears the body of the crucified Christ.
