    Roadbook

    Follow the symbol of the cross and wayside shrine route

    The starting point is the cemetery in Renchen-Ulm, with a start sign and route description. From there, if you head towards Mösbach, after about 350 m at the Sternebühlbuckel stands an old wayside shrine made of red sandstone, crafted in the early years of the 19th century. The path then leads you through the orchard meadows to Renchen-Ulm. After passing four more small monuments, you reach the parish church of St. Mauritius. Around the parish church there are further small monuments.

    At the town exit towards Stadelhofen, in the fork between Oberkircher Straße and Appenweierer Straße, stands the Magdalena Hause wayside cross.

    Follow the signposted path through the orchard meadows and, after a short detour through the industrial area, walk along the Ulmer Dorfbach through Armenhöfestraße. There you will find the wayside shrine of Ida Welle. The last kilometer takes you through orchard meadows back to the starting point.

    (Crosses and wayside shrines on this route: No. 1 to 16; 29, 30, 31, 32)
