Sources for this section

Many of the "steles" the Atlas lists in the Czech Republic and Austria are wayside monuments, such as stone shrines, chapels and crosses beside paths and roads, and not ancient steles at all. A wayside shrine is a religious image, usually in some sort of small shelter, placed by a road or path, sometimes in a settlement or at a crossroads, but often on an empty stretch of country road or at the top of a hill. A wayside cross is a cross by a footpath, track or road, at an intersection, along the edge of a field or in a forest, and may be of wood, stone or metal. Further down this page, About this kind of monument gives the whole of “Wayside crosses and shrines of Central Europe”.
