Steinernes Kreuz

Can you hear the gentle rustle of the leaves and the soft lapping of the water? This quiet holds tales from long ago. Look to your left, where the ancient route from Cologne to Dortmund once ran. Imagine merchants and pilgrims making their way along this path. Right in front of you, the Stone Cross stands as a silent guardian, echoing the era when travel was fraught with danger. You might sense the presence of countless travelers who passed through here. Behind you, toward the dam wall of the Eschbachtalsperre, lies a landscape that has barely changed since those days. It’s as if time has paused here, allowing us to remember the past.
