The Walburgis Chapel, which was first mentioned around 1350 and was built in its present form in 1697, probably gave the mountain its name. The bronze statue of Saint Walburga, which stands in front of the chapel and was inaugurated in 2000, is very striking.

The chapel, visible from afar, was built in the 17th century. At the chapel door you can see inside through the narrow light cutout. Many 🕯️🕯️🕯️ were set up there.
The bronze statue "Heilige Walburga" in front of the ⛪ is an eye-catcher. Especially nice during the evening☀️.

The Ehrenbürg is a 531.9 m above sea level. NHN high witness mountain in the foothills of the Franconian Alb. With his Doppelkuppe he lies in the municipality of Kirchehrenbach, Leutenbach and Wiesenthau in the Upper Franconian district of Forchheim (Bavaria). The north point is the 513.9 m high Walberla (in the vernacular often used for the entire Ehrenbürg name), the southern tip of the 531.7 m high Rodenstein (formerly called Bodenstein). From the mountain, for example, the view reaches the Wiesenttal.
