A Kőszegi-hegység egyik legnagyobb turistaútvonal-csomópontját piros színű kereszt jelzi, amelyet az egykori búcsújárók emlékére állítottak.
Elbeszélések szerint a Kőszeg-hegyaljáról induló gyalogos búcsújárók itt pihentek meg először a rőtfalvi búcsújáróhelyre tartva, ezért emeltek itt keresztet. A hely már a 19. században kedvelt kirándulóhellyé vált, 1930-ban pedig öt irányban lehetett innen továbbindulni.

A mai, pirosra festett fa keresztet 1984-ben állították, és hat nagy kocsánytalan tölgy veszi körbe. Mellettük padokkal és asztalokkal felszerelt pihenőt alakítottak ki. Erre vezet át a Kőszegi-hegységet átszelő erdészeti aszfaltozott út, amely népszerű kerékpáros útvonal, de itt vezet az Országos Kéktúra is.

A Vörös-kereszttől kelet felé könnyen elérhető az Óház-kilátó, délnyugati irányban pedig a Kendig csúcsa kínálkozik.
