Really nice place to take a brake and drink something. Of course, also eating, if you are not making 50 km in a MTB. 😊

The cross was rebuilt in 2024 by the local association Burgebrach after wilful destruction, and an inviting resting place was created for lingering. The location in the forest section "Am Hölzernen Kreuz" suggests that a predecessor cross must have stood here in earlier times. The locals simply refer to the place as "Hölzernes Kreuz".

The well-marked forest path leads to the Burgstall Windeck.

The castle of the Lords of Windeck was first documented in 1263 and destroyed in 1525 during the Peasants' War. No structural remains of the former castle survive; only ramparts and ditches are still visible. A memorial stone commemorates Ursula von Windeck, the last inhabitant of the castle, who died around 1475.
