Hiking

Already at the end of the 17th century there are references to a chapel on the "Spitzkopf" near Weiler in the mountains, in which a figure of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux was venerated. After the wonderful healings on the intercession of St. Bernhard became known, the owner of the mountain, now known as Bernhardus, set up a pilgrimage around 1720, which quickly enjoyed great popularity. A large church was therefore built from 1730-1733 and the pilgrimage flourished. In 1806 the pilgrimage was moved to the Hohenrechberg. The Bernhardus pilgrimage came to a standstill and the church was torn down.
