Tips from the Community

September 8, 2025, Blue Cross Above Kuhberg

The tragic story behind this small, sacred monument—which, with its unusual color scheme, is sure to arouse interest and perhaps even entice passing bikers to stop for a moment—has already been described by user 'Jürgen' in his post. "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 aims to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has conquered death," as Dean Rainald M. Ollig once put it in the foreword to a publication about wayside crosses.

Elongated rock castle above the Zorn valley, southwest of Saverne. After a varied history, it has been state property for approx. 150 years. Varied structures from different eras in the inner courtyard. Great view over the Rhine valley and the northern Vosges.

Ride to the viewpoint just below the top of the Tour du Brotsch for a rewarding mountain biking experience. The route is a mix of forest paths and rocky sections, offering a good balance between challenge and fun. Once you reach the viewpoint, the views of the surrounding Vosges Mountains stretch as far as the eye can see. It’s the perfect place to take a break and enjoy the beauty of nature before continuing on your way.
