EN: This rather neglected old stone cross stands on a dirt road in a clearing east of Brislach.

The cross has the inscription INRI at the top and is dated 1838 on the side arms. It is in a pretty bad condition and overgrown with moss and lichens. Interestingly, not all components seem equally prone to fouling. The upper third just below the side arms is almost completely free of it.

DE: Dieses ziemlich verwahrloste alte Steinkreuz steht an einem Feldweg in einer Waldlichtung östlich von Brislach.

Das Kreuz hat an der Spitze die Inschrift INRI und ist an den Seitenarmen mit 1838 datiert. Es ist in einem ziemlich schlechten Zustand und mit Moos und Flechten überwachsen. Interessanterweise scheinen nicht alle Einzelteile gleich anfällig für Bewuchs zu sein. Das obere Drittel direkt unter den Seitenarmen ist fast ganz frei davon.
