Saint Matthias, to whom a wayside cross has been dedicated here, is one of the twelve apostles from Jesus's inner circle of disciples, but he was not - like the others - called to this office by Jesus himself. After Jesus's betrayal by Judas Iscariot and the subsequent crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the eleven remaining apostles prayed for the Holy Spirit and elected a new twelfth apostle. The lot fell to Matthias, as reported in the "Acts of the Apostles" in the New Testament (Acts 1:15-26). His feast day is on May 14th, and in German-speaking countries on February 24th. He is buried in the Benedictine Abbey of St. Matthias in Trier; it is the only apostle's tomb north of the Alps, and a number of St. Matthias Brotherhoods (SMB) regularly make pilgrimages there, which is why this sacred wayside shrine also stands here.

I can't take as many breaks as there are beautiful huts and viewing benches here - there's not enough room in my backpack for that amount of bread, snacks and water.

The nice thing about the hiking trails around here is the fact that you can often catch a glimpse of the castles.

More of an architectural highlight and great photo opportunity than a refuge. The walls are open and the wooden supporting arches are delicately worked. You can photograph great silhouettes here when a hiker stands in front of the panorama.
