The name of the hamlet of Trais is of Celtic origin - from DREAS = residence. Perhaps the Celtic inhabitants bred horses. The old custom of Trais riding could be a reminder of this. In those ancient times, gods were sometimes represented by living people. It is conceivable that in the Epona cult (Epona = Celtic-Roman horse goddess) a woman rode through the area on a horse with the symbols of fertility in her hand to ask for the deity's blessing for livestock and fields. Later, when the meaning of this act had been forgotten but this old custom was still practiced, Trais riding developed, which later even became a sporting race. Since alcohol abuse, fights and other excesses occurred on the Trais riding festival day, Trais riding was stopped by Grand Duke Carl Friedrich in 1806. On October 14, 1962, in cooperation with the Königsbacher Heimatfreunde and the riding and driving club, the forgotten tradition of Traisreiten was brought back to life.

It is pleasantly soft to walk on the path, as chopped wood lies on the paths

Well-maintained paths, not strenuous

Unfortunately, the view is somewhat impaired by the lush vegetation.

Wonderful view from the Heuberg from the Palatinate Forest to the Black Forest, the Pfinztal, ...

Beautiful old building from the 16th century, also a good place to take a break and meet bikers and hikers.
