Most pilgrim groups come from the diocese of Limburg and the neighboring dioceses of Trier, Cologne and Mainz.
What no other pilgrimage site in Germany can boast of are the boat processions to Bornhofen. Even in the Middle Ages, a boat procession came every year from Cologne-Maria Lyskirchen. In 1842, the poet Guido Görres wrote the pilgrimage song “Guide through the waves” (No. 147), which is well known far beyond the borders, especially for these boat pilgrimages to Bornhofen.
