Hiking

This wayside cross made of red sandstone is heavily weathered. The Baroque cross features an altar top as well as roof-like ornaments on the front and both sides of the shaft base. The original inscription "Anno 1713 -Johannes Hermes" is recorded, but is no longer legible. Above it, one can recognize a Pietà carved out of the sandstone.

The crossroads Hermes is on the former route from Schalkenmehren to Udler at the height of 495 above normal zero. Baroque cross with altar projection, roof-like decorations on the stem of the front surface and on both sides. Lower lower abdomen with foliage. The inscription reads: (not legible anymore) "ANNO 1713 JOANNS HERMES". Here, too, above the inscription, a Pietá carved out of stone. "

Hiking

On the way to Schalkenmehren around the Maar over the Hohe List you also get to the Hermes Cross. Here, a bank invites you to linger
