The objective of the cultural history trail is to bring the local people and guests closer to their homeland or holiday resort in an inviting way. Starting in Selkingen, the trail first leads through the alleys to Biel and finally to Ritzingen. The final point of the autodidactic tour is "in the heart of the world", as this location of the chapel Ritzingenfeld is affectionately called in the vernacular.
The free brochure on the culture trail contains explanations of the villages and their utilitarian and sacred buildings, but also takes up topics such as population and their customs. It also contains a list of further literature for all those who would like to delve deeper into the culture and history of the Goms valley. The little booklet is available at the tourist information offices in Reckingen, Münster and Oberwald.
