Walburga Cross and Forest Trail

Highlight • Trail

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus.
So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
in: “Crossroads. Small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")

Martinsteinhiesli

Highlight • Restaurant

The Martinsteinhiesli is one of the particularly rustic inns in the Black Forest and invites you for a cozy stop. Here you can enjoy hearty Black Forest specialties, homemade products such as bread, sausage, and cider, as well as delicious cakes.

The traditional pub room and the idyllic beer garden offer cozy places to linger. For families, there is a game enclosure and a small park, so the children will also get their money's worth. A table reservation is recommended.
