About the artwork

On the summit of the Großer Daumen, high above the majestic Allgäu Alps, sits the proud summit cross, a symbol of conquest and triumph. It rises majestically against the vast sky, the gleaming metal shining in the light of the sun. A moment of silence and awe takes hold of the viewer as he lets his gaze wander over the vast panorama.
From this sublime vantage point, the view stretches far into the distance. The picturesque Illertal valley opens up to the south, while the imposing Grünten mountain rises on the horizon. The rolling hills and majestic peaks of the Allgäu Alps spread out before you like an endless canvas, ready to be admired by anyone who reaches the summit.
The summit cross itself tells stories of past adventures and conquests. Every step taken up the steep path is a tribute to human determination and the unwavering will to climb the highest peaks. It is a place of contemplation, where you can feel the wind in your hair, breathe in the clear mountain air and take in the silence of nature.
In this moment of pause, you realise that the true beauty lies not only in the majestic scenery, but also in the inner peace and tranquillity that you find on the summit of the Großer Daumen. It is a place where the soul flies and thoughts are free, while you listen to the call of the mountains and harmonise with nature.
