"Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect "their" cross at this spot. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and aims to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is a part of our lives, just as it was a part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people... will seek out the wayside crosses, whether as places of silence and respite before God, or as places of community gathering, prayer, and praise."

The nature reserve is located in the municipality of Kämpfelbach, in the district of Ersingen, and covers an area of 38 hectares. It is located on the B10 between Wilferdingen and Pforzheim in the southern Kraichgau region. It is only about a 10-15 minute drive from Karlsbad/Waldbronn. Here, we find a valley cut through the Muschelkalk. Numerous rare bird species, such as the wryneck and the whitethroat, live in the richly structured terrain. Numerous orchid species and other rare plants bloom on the calcareous meadows of the southwest slope. The plant diversity provides food and development for many insect species – we can observe butterflies such as the swallowtail butterfly, various burnet moths, the sparse fritillary, or the critically endangered gentian blue, which lays its eggs exclusively on gentian plants. The praying mantis, a member of the order of mantises, has also reportedly been spotted here. In the upper third of the slope, there is a path parallel to the federal highway, from which one can observe the flora and fauna without causing damage by crossing the meadow. Areas with such biodiversity in flora and fauna have become rare and are therefore particularly worthy of protection.

A truly beautiful spot with a fantastic panorama. Unfortunately, a concrete garage was built right next to the seating. It spoils the view. But the area is wonderful.
