The so-called Ochsenklavier is today's church path, which winds its way up the mountain between the Green Castle and the White Castle with the Evangelical Church. The name comes from the time when the farmers were still traveling with teams of oxen. At that time, the church path was paved with wooden beams and whenever the oxen drove over it, a wide variety of sounds could be heard.
