Mariabuchen

A small church in the Buchental. The beautiful church is located in the middle of the forest right on Buchentalweg.Right next door you will find the Buchenstüble, where you can eat delicious at fair prices.When a church service is being celebrated in the church, you can enjoy beautiful organ music and singing.

Beautiful pilgrimage church and opportunity to stop in Buchenstüble.

According to legend, Mariabuchen owes its origins to a simple shepherd who drove his herd through the Buchental.
About 600 years ago he carved a portrait of Our Lady with the dead Savior and placed it in the knothole of an old beech tree.
This image of grace, which today stands on the left side altar of the church, is the main contact point for all pilgrims who come here every year on their processions in the Buchental. Around 45 groups currently find their way to Maria Buchen every year, with the catchment area encompassing the entire triangle of the Main and large parts of the Spessart.

A beautiful monastery, currently under renovation. The facade is surrounded by a scaffold. There are three restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Two directly at the monastery and one a little below. To get there, you have to drive down the path and then turn right.

Wonderful place of pilgrimage with really great hiking and biking trails. Something for everyone here, gravel, lots of forest paths, trails, easy paths, but also narrow and steep challenges.
You can also eat well here;)

Very large complex for a pilgrimage church

The pilgrimage church of Mariabuchen with its monastery and the beech mill below are a great place to rest
