The origins of the Engelberg pilgrimage church go back to pagan times. A nearby hill called Rulesberg and a huge boulder with a bowl-like indentation called the Heunenessel bear witness to what was once a Wotan cult site.

The bowl was "accidentally" split open and can no longer be used for making offerings to the god Wodan🥴
