    Hiking

    In the district of Hessenthal (place Mespelbrunn) there is a pilgrimage church of Mary. It is the burial place of the Echter von Mespelbrunn family.
    There are three churches to admire: an early work by Tilman Riemenschneider's Lamentation Group (around 1490),
    the crucifixion group, a masterpiece by the Mainz sculptor Hans Backoffen (around 1519),
    Two "Real Epitaphs" by Erhard Barg (1583),
    A modern way of the cross from 1967 by the Aschaffenburg artist Siegfried Rischar
    For small change you can also listen to an audio file in the church
