Guided Story
Look up at the stone cross rising proudly against the sky. Did you know it holds a secret? Those wolf paw carvings at the base are a tribute to Count Wolff-Metternich, who donated this cross. Behind you, the gentle flow of the Villiper Bach whispers tales from long ago. In the quiet of the Kottenforst forest, you can almost hear the footsteps of pilgrims who walked this path over the centuries. It's a place rich with history, just waiting for you to uncover its stories.
