The Helje Born
On the south-eastern slope of the Malberg, a small spring has been flowing out of the rock into a small, natural pool for a long time. This water is called Helje Born and is said to have a healing effect on eye diseases.
The healing effect could in fact be related to the clay water, which acts like acetic clay, i.e. cooling and beneficial.
For many years there has been an old sanctuary next to Helje Born, near which a chapel was built in 1892 to thank God.
Since the end of World War II, a procession has taken place to this chapel every year on Ascension Day.
