Perched atop a rocky plateau stands this simple summit cross, which gives the place its name. From here, an impressive view unfolds across the Sauer Valley, the wooded heights of the Eifel region, and as far as Luxembourg. The Kreuzlay is located on the Ferschweiler-Bollendorf plateau and is part of several popular hiking trails, including the Felsenweg 2 (Rock Trail 2) and the "Grüne Hölle" (Green Hell) route. The ascent leads along narrow paths and past rock formations. Due to its scenic beauty and geological significance, the Kreuzlay is considered one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Southern Eifel.

It's no coincidence that the Bollendorf hiking trail "Green Hell" took second place in Germany's most beautiful hiking trail 2024. As a special treat, the tour is also available as an audio guide app with plenty of additional information.

A beautiful vantage point beneath the cross. Two benches invite you to rest. A box is attached to the cross below. At first, we expected a summit book, but the box was empty.
