The summit cross on the Eisenberg is a bit difficult to find. If it hadn't been for the "Save the Eisenberg" campaign, you definitely wouldn't be able to reach the summit cross by bike, horseback or on foot. There is a small book at the summit cross that you can sign in.

The road was quite rutted by harvesters. Sliding passages needed. Found the summit cross thanks to Bernhard's info. No view because of dense forest around...

Interested parties place next to a wind turbine, there is also a bench nearby to take a break, and you can let your gaze wander into the distance.

In summer it is not that easy to reach the summit cross. Nevertheless, I successfully fought my way through the dense thicket and signed the "visitor book".

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the eyes of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. " (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig in: “Crossroads. Small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety ")
