Popular around Offenbach an der Queich
The need for security was likely decisive for the abandonment of the Schweinheim settlement and the move to the fortified village of Jockgrim. To this day, the "Schweinheimer Kirchel" has been preserved as a relic of the abandoned settlement of Schweinheim. Initially, Jockgrim had no parish church, so this little church served as the parish church until the 15th century. Furthermore, until 1785, deceased persons were occasionally buried in the cemetery next to the Schweinheimer Kirchel. The pilgrimage probably dates back to the people's attachment to the former mother church, where a black image of the Mother of God was venerated from ancient times. To promote the pilgrimage, Pope Leo XIII granted indulgences to pilgrims in 1892. The pilgrimage and the little church survived all the storms of time. On the feast of the Visitation of Mary (July 2nd), the main pilgrimage day, many pilgrims gather annually at this pilgrimage site.

The Kirschbaumhütte is a small shelter located in the heart of the Palatinate Forest, right at a crossroads. A seating area inside invites you to take a short rest during your hike.

Not far from the dividing weir, you cross the Queich in the direction of Zeiskam or Hochstadt.
