Properties:
"Anno 1713, St. Nicalaus pray for us and help us over water and land", reads the inscription on the "Stone Cross" monument. It is possible that the current location, not far from this hiking parking lot, was once a resting place on the long-distance trade route between Siegen and Paderborn. The stone cross was erected there in honor of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of merchants and carters, who asked for a safe journey. Even today, the historic road is still used as a hiking trail (Kriegerweg).
Circular hiking tip Oberhundem North Tour: The "Steinernes Kreuz" hiking parking lot is also a good starting point for the approximately four-hour Oberhundem North Tour, which takes you to the Alpenhaus, where you can stop for refreshments. You can find more information about the hike here.
circular hiking tip Saalhausener Höhenweg: Passing the Steinernes Kreuz, the loop leads you into rustling forests and to great views, which can also be enjoyed from comfortable benches. You can find a description of the route here
