    The "Waltharilied" goes back to an orally transmitted, Germanic heroic epic, which deals with the tragic conflict of Hagen von Tronje between his vassal loyalty to King Gunther of Worms and his friend loyalty to his blood brother Walthari of Aquitaine.

    According to the latest findings, the conflict took place here, on the Maimont, at the entrance to the ring wall, not far from the place where a peace cross was erected centuries later.

      In addition to the fantastic view, the Maimont is a place steeped in history, not least because of the Franco-German relations.

      A fitting place for a peace cross and a joy that it is also located on such a unique hiking trail, the Franco-German Castle Trail.

        Nice view of u.a. Fischbach.
