Energetic considerations render Supernova remnants (SNRs) prime candidates for the origin of galactic cosmic rays. As emitters of very-high-energy (VHE, > 100 GeV) gamma-radiation it is possible to probe the standard framework that links the origin of cosmic rays to the gamma-ray visibility of SNRs using the H.E.S.S. instrument. The extensive H.E.S.S. dataset on the inner region of the Milky Way has been investigated. Here we present our findings and discuss their implications on the theoretical picture of VHE gamma-ray production in SNRs.
