클라인레더칭엔 최고의 사이클링 경로

A place with a historical background that has been beautifully arranged with some works of art and subtle lighting.

Starting point of our 5-pass loop towards Bitche

what a beautiful fortress with great views in all directions

Visited on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the liberation by the US forces in March 1945. Michel Klein is a knowledgeable and caring curator of all the memorabilia donated by American and French families whose fathers, brothers, and uncles died and/or survived the conflicts that took place.

Two oversized butterflies with glass in their wings decorate the place.

There was a lot of excursion traffic on Sunday. We took the route from Philippsburg via Erbsenthal. That was quieter!

At this spot, in the forest northeast of Lviv, the trees give way slightly, creating a clearing where, at an altitude of 420 meters, stands the small sacred monument known as the "Croix Saint-Hubert." A low stone wall and a wooden fence create a small "sacred precinct," at the center of which is the well-preserved cross. At the very bottom of the lower section is the well-known scene from the Life of Hubertus, featuring a stag with a cross between its antlers. Above it, at the very bottom, are reliefs of two figures, the one on the left identified as a monk with his tonsure and habit; between the two images, the year 1786. Above this, rises the actual cross, which also bears the body of the crucified Christ.
