The early baroque Magdalene Church on the Biber dates back to 1628/29, when the hermit Johannes Schelle had a small church built, which was consecrated in 1636.Slightly below the church you can find naturally formed rock caves. These used to serve the hermits as additional prayer rooms. The settlement of the Biberhöhe is documented up to the early 19th century. The last hermit died in 1813.The Stations of the Cross, which were added in 1733/1736, are largely still in their original state with their 15 stations. This makes the Biber one of the first Stations of the Cross in Bavaria. It is laid out in a horseshoe shape, with the individual stations represented in the form of chapels. It is unusual that the resurrection of Christ was included in the Stations of the Cross.brannenburg.de/orte/kirchen/wallfahrtskirche-st-magdalena

Somewhat steep and slippery steps in rainy weather, but the climb is worth it. Once at the top, not only is the church worth seeing, but also the cloister in particular
