The Bühler Peace Cross stands on a small hill between Buehl and Ottersweier and is a symbol of German-French reconciliation and a memorial to peace in the world. It is 14 m high and was inaugurated in 1952. The building material comes partly from the French Maginot defense line and the German west wall.
The Peace Cross is the starting point of the Ortenauer Peace Pilgrimage.

If you follow the field path that connects to the Peace Cross, you can easily get to Waldmatt and then cycle to Windeck Castle.

When the Holy Father Leo XIV greeted the faithful in May 2025 – immediately after his election as Pope – his first words deeply touched not only people of the Catholic faith. Perhaps they are also a helpful thought for the biker lingering in front of this Peace Cross:
+ "Peace be with you all! Dear brothers and sisters, this is the first greeting of the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd... I too desire that this greeting of peace enter your hearts, reach your families, all people, wherever they are, all nations, the whole earth. Peace be with you! This is the peace of the Risen Christ, an unarmed and disarming peace, humble and persevering. It comes from God, the God who loves us all unconditionally." (Leo XIV)
