    The church route through the Renchtal leads you from Oberkirch to Lautenbach. In Lautenbach you will find the first symbolic church: the pilgrimage church Mariä Krönung, built in the 15th century (picture). Then it goes to Ödsbach. Here follows the small St. Jakobus Chapel next to the main church St. Jakobus Maior. Then it goes over the heights to Nußbach. Up there, make a detour to the St. Wendelin Chapel. From afar, you can already see the beautiful St. Sebastian Church in the center of Nußbach. The route leads back along the Rench via Zusenhofen and Stadelhofen to Oberkirch.
