In the midst of the blossoming Loretto meadows near Oberstdorf, an old signpost to heaven rises majestically - a modest field cross with the sublime figure of Christ. The warm spring light envelops the wooden cross, while the delicate flowers all around adorn the earth in a bright carpet of colour. The gentle hills of the Allgäu stretch out into an endless expanse, crowned by the sublime presence of the Gaisalphorn, 1953 metres high.
In the background, the majestic Nebelhorn with its proud 2224 metres, the Schattenberg at 1845 metres and the sublime Riefenkopf at 1750 metres tower into the cloudless sky. This imposing backdrop of the Allgäu Alps creates a scenery that fills the soul with awe. The clear spring air carries the sweet scent of blooming alpine flowers and transports the senses into a state of harmony.
The sight of this idyllic spot in the heart of Bavaria allows your thoughts to wander into the distance, while you can hear the murmur of the nearby mountain stream. The cross at the edge of the path is a reminder that even in the midst of the sublime nature of the Allgäu, spiritual peace and the connection to divine creation are always present. It is an ode to spring, to the beauty of creation and to the profound connection between heaven and earth that is so tangible in this place.
