A hiking trail to the right circles the Hill of the Three Crosses. First uphill, as always, then a leisurely descent. Afterwards, a quick lunch with friendly people in Santenay's market square!

In a town in the Moselle Valley, which, like Burgundy, is internationally renowned for its winemaking, I found the following slogan (without citing the source) on a large billboard: "The earth, the vine, the sunshine, they bring us the golden wine. But if it weren't for the work of the winemaker, even the finest glasses would remain empty." The statement fits perfectly with the monument shown here.

The name "Montagne de Trois Croix" already hinted at it, and so it's no real surprise to find more than just a summit cross up here, which – as is common in many places – crowns the mountain peak. The central cross, standing in the middle, points the observer to the execution of the incarnate Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth. According to biblical tradition, however, he was not condemned to death and crucified alone, but together with two criminals. Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday, once composed the following prayer on this subject: "Help us, Son of Man, to free ourselves from the arrogance of the thief, the robber on your left, and of the short-sighted and the corrupt (...) Instead, we ask you, Son of God, to identify us with the good thief who looked at you with eyes full of shame, repentance, and hope; who, with the eyes of faith, saw divine victory in your apparent defeat and thus knelt before your mercy and grace and stole paradise with honesty and integrity.

Weather permitting, this spot offers a wonderful view. Two signs provide orientation. Dolmen sites around the mountain indicate that it played a role for humans as early as 5000 BC, but rare plants and animals also thrive here. Another unique feature is that the border between two departments runs here, so one of the three crosses is in Côte-d'Or and the other two in Saône-et-Loire.

A narrow path above the vineyards, on which trees and bushes are signposted. In between, a fabulously wide view of the plain.
