    Today the stone cross is located about 800m south of the southern outskirts of Breitau at a small rest area with a bench, on the footpath or bike path in the direction of Ulfen.
    The stone cross was repositioned several times, most recently after a traffic accident in 1988, when the stone broke and has since been repaired.
