    Hiking

    Out of gratitude that his daughter had not been badly injured in a car accident in 1932, Josef Koch made a vow to build a memorial cross.
    He searched for a place and found it at a small stream on the circular route around the Rhonard.
    However, it did not remain at the memorial cross, to the delight of the wanderers was still a bell that was driven by a water wheel.


    Since then, the ringing sounds and delights the visitors.
    Through the Kling Klong of the bells, the name Kreuzglöckchen became popular in the population.

    The sound of the bells can be heard from afar. A great experience if you walk through the quiet forest.
