Lambertskreuz, Medieval stone cross in Palatinate Forest, Germany
The Lambertskreuz stands as a monolithic stone structure marking an intersection of forest paths in the Palatinate region of Rhineland-Palatinate.
Dating back to 1280, this medieval monument represents the earliest recorded stone cross still standing in the Palatinate region of Germany.
The cross bears the name of Saint Lambertus, a bishop who met his death in 705, reflecting regional religious traditions of the Middle Ages.
Visitors reach the monument through multiple hiking trails, with the surrounding Waldhaus Lambertskreuz offering a self-service restaurant and outdoor seating areas.
The stone cross marks an elevation point where multiple forest paths converge, serving both as a historical marker and a modern reference point for hikers.
