The half-timbered house, built on a stone base, forms the backdrop for the small sacred monument standing in front of it. Its design is very typical: a rectangular base with a small niche at the bottom, capped by a shell-like ceiling. Above this base rises the cross, presenting the body of the crucified Christ to passing hikers and walkers. The dedicatory inscription names Stephen and Anna Riefferscheidt as the donors.
