Hiking

The monument is located directly under the 1000-year-old oak tree in Bötersheim. In the center is a small pyramid of fieldstone surrounded by a fieldstone wall.
The names of those who died in World War I are on a metal plaque on the largest erratic boulder. There is also the saying: "He who found death in a holy fight rests in foreign soil in his fatherland." The names of the fallen of World War II are on metal plaques placed on small boulders around the pyramid.
