The tragic story behind this small, sacred monument—which, with its unusual color scheme, is sure to arouse interest and perhaps even entice passing bikers to stop for a moment—has already been described by user 'Jürgen' in his post. "These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and aims to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has conquered death," as Dean Rainald M. Ollig once put it in the foreword to a publication about wayside crosses.

Elongated rock castle above the Zorn valley, southwest of Saverne. After a varied history, it has been state property for approx. 150 years. Varied structures from different eras in the inner courtyard. Great view over the Rhine valley and the northern Vosges.

The section begins in Hofmuhl when coming from Saverne. The Valley of the Lock Keepers is an 8.2 km long paved path, so not exactly a mountain biking highlight, but very scenic.
