Photographer’s Note

These are wayside crosses in Rhön, a German low mountain region spreading over Hessen Thürigen and Bayern (Bavaria). Rhön is an excellent and well signposted hiking area - and even on these crosses you can see two trail markings.
You can find these crosses - especially in Bavaria - on many places of this mountain range. They often have been erected in remembrance to someone deceased here and they often are hundreds of years old. Left hand next to the bench you can see a two hundred years old cross.

My photo was taken in the Bavarian part of Rhön in an altitude of about 750 metres near the village Haselbach.

In the distance above the valley one can see the low mountain range Thüringer Wald - also a very popular hiking area.
