My parents' home in Fredericksburg, Texas, is near the base of Cross Mountain on the north side of town. In fact, it's close enough to walk to and up the mountain, as Dad and I did shortly after they moved there, in September 1993. In the photo above, you can see the "back" side of the cross, which has lights that are turned on at night.
Above is the historical marker for Kreuzberg or Cross Mountain, and below is how the other side of the cross looks during the day.

Cross Mountain is also a Texas State Antiquities (formerly Archeological) Landmark.
