Very significant subject and geat picture! I love the natural framing by the trees and beautiful sky as a background!

I have actually no idea about what's the significance.
Today the overlook on the old landslide site above the river loop is the corner point of a few running and mountain biking trails. Wether the cross was put there just for marking the dangerous edge and decorating the area near the bench with something edifying, or if way back when the landslide went down denuding the slope or later someone died at the edge and the cross was meant as a memory originally I can not find out anything about, all internet info google brings up is a lot repeating info on a mountain bike track named for the very overgrown lookout.

Niemand hat je bei einem Kreuz eine Idee über die significance, und umso größer es ist, umso weniger. Man stellt es einfach auf. Damit zeigt Gott uns seine Liebe, das ist wie beim Glockenläuten.

Nicely framed by the tree branches =)

Nun, so einige Goetter wuerden diese Idee mit dem Folterstaender als Liebesbeweiss sicher recht amuesant finden, nur der Christengott findet das offenbar sehr angesagt. Der Venus ist zum Beispiel eine Muschel lieber, aber die hat sich der Sankt Jakob geklaut. Kreuze gibt es nun mal in der Landschaft wegen der hiesigen Kultur. Das loest naturlich nicht das Raetsel warum genau da eines steht, wo es ohnehin schon recht wenig Ausblick gibt.
