On the hikes through the Lahn-Dill mountains, the "detours" to the villages are worthwhile to discover the church and culture.

Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, to whom the church in Caldern is dedicated, is – along with Saint Martin – one of the most popular saints of all. Almost every child in Germany - and far beyond - should know his commemoration day, December 6th.
On the eve of this day, the children used to put their shoes or boots in front of the door - which of course had to be cleaned with great care - so that they could be filled with gifts by St. Nicholas during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for the children to put out a small amount of food for the donkey, St. Nicholas' riding animal (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).

Before the church was built, there was a monastery on this spot. A sign at the entrance reminds us of the history.
