This trail – marked by a blue ring – showcases the ancient and family-related heritage of the Kochersberg: that of the wayside shrines and rural crosses. Gougenheim, which once had a castle where the bailiffs of the Kochersberg resided both during and after the destruction of Kochersberg Castle, and the neighbouring villages are particularly well suited to this. The bailiff represented the Bishop of Strasbourg. In this capacity, he maintained order within the bailiwick, administered justice and collected tithes and land rents. The trail is very pleasant as it often runs along the ridgeline. It passes through and around the villages of Durningen, Rohr, Gougenheim and Kienheim. As well as the chapel (1524) dedicated to Saint Lawrence, you’ll be able to see no fewer than 37 wayside crucifixes and rural crosses around highly symbolic sites on the Kochersberg. A lovely walk to enjoy with the family – with a picnic, of course.
