EN: This stone cross stands at the junction of three unnamed dirt roads east of Gempen.

The cross has relatively short side arms. It has a small Jesus figure made of metal, and a metal sign with the letters "INRI" above it. The cross is dated 1904. It is in excellent condition and has apparently been renovated just recently. An internet photo from 2011 shows it still overgrown with moss and lichens.
