A cross and next to it an altar, which is surrounded by 12 pegs. The twelve pegs represent the twelve apostles. On each is a stone tablet with the name of an apostle.

12 tree trunks with the names of the 12 apostles stand near a cross. Visavis in the clearing used to be the beautiful hunter's house.
