Hiking
On a natural elevation at this crossroads of 5 roads, a small wooden chapel hangs on an old linden tree. Only one of the original three linden trees has survived the test of time. Near the chapel stands a remnant of an old stone boundary marker. Presumably, this boundary marker is a relic from Roman times, when boundary markers were placed at crossroads to honor protective spirits. In the Middle Ages, it became customary to erect chapels at these boundary markers.

Crossroads of five roads, also known locally as the "five-way intersection." For centuries, lime trees with chapels dotted the fields served as beacons to guide people in the distance.
