EN: This wooden cross stands next to a hiking trail towards Birgisch above Naters. It is just over one and a half meters high and has a small black Jesus figure and a wooden canopy. On the side arms is engraved "19L H51". However, the dating can only refer to a predecessing structure. The wood of today's cross is definitely less than ten years old.
