Tips from the Community
In principle, there are actually two crosses here, both lamenting suffering and yet testifying to completely different events. For the hiker or cyclist (regardless of gender) who passes by here, it offers an opportunity to reflect (on people) and pause.

This wayside cross has stood for a few hundred years and bears witness to the piety and devotion of a Gamshurst family from that time. Today, it offers an opportunity to stop and reflect.

Unexpectedly by the roadside, a "thank you" to Maria that is more than two hundred years old. A gem under a tree with a bench for reflection.

Parish Church of St. John The Ottersweier parish is one of the oldest in Middle Baden and was first documented over 1200 years ago. Several church buildings have been proven to exist at this site. During the construction of the large neo-Gothic church (1906-1909), care was taken to preserve important parts of the medieval predecessor churches. On the south tower, parts of the Romanesque choir tower (around 1200) can be clearly recognized. The late Gothic choir (1517) became the current entrance hall. Together with the arcade passage to the rectory on the east side, the complex forms a unified overall work of art. Further information can be found on the information stand in the church. On the square in front of the church, a memorial column (1910) with a statue of the blessed Margrave Bernhard von Baden commemorates the fallen of the war of 1870/71.

The St. Nikolaus Church has its origins in the Middle Ages. It originated from an early chapel and was later rebuilt and expanded several times. The holy Nicholas as patron shows the long ecclesiastical tradition of the place. Over the centuries, the church was and remains the religious and social center of Gamshurst to this day.
