The Craulaer Kreuz is located directly behind the round bench seat on a small hill. Originally only the field name "vor dem Kreuz" remained from the Craulaer Kreuz. Today there is a stone cross reproduced from traditional drawings and photos. The incorporated sequence of numbers 157 indicates a time between 1570 and 1579; it was probably erected in memory of someone who had an accident at this point.
The long lost cross was rediscovered and erected in 1928. It has disappeared again since 1955. The cross that is now there is a replica.
