Wayside cross made of limestone, standing on a base with an inscription, dated 1736. Donated by Johann Georg and Magdalena Ickstatt, the parents of the important lawyer Johann Adam Freiherr von Ickstatt, who was later ennobled. Unusual design of the cross trunk. On the surface of the cross, the relief of another cross with the body and title of the cross is reproduced between raised marginal strips, as well as the schematic representation of a skull and a reclining female figure (Maria Magdalena?) at the foot of this cross.

There is also a bench next to the cross.

Beautiful cross, a bit off the path. The Latin inscription is unfortunately difficult to decipher. I should have taken a better photo. Never mind - drive by again and repeat.
