The ori­gi­nal cross, which was first men­tio­ned in the 17th cen­tu­ry, was des­troy­ed when the inner-Ger­man bor­der was built. After Ger­man reuni­fi­ca­ti­on, the cur­rent cross was erec­ted in the same place. 

This stamp point can be rea­ched from Ilsen­burg through the Ils­etal and the Gro­ße Sand­tal. On the way back to Ilsen­burg, it is a good idea to hike via the Schar­fen­stein HWN 2.
