In the state forest Rinzenberg stands at 644 meters height, a three-meter high, made of oak wood cross without name or ornament.
1632: After an attack by the Spaniards against the village people and the allied French, the inhabitants buried the corpses in a large grave and erected on this a cross, which they called the "cross of horror", later the "gray cross". Source: kuladig.de/objectview/KLD-248537

Unfortunately, you can only find this historic place with luck and a map. The path that comes from below is impassable due to fallen trees. From the picnic area above, you can still walk quite well. There is no sign or information board. What a pity.
