    Hiking

    In September 1522, the city experienced the only siege in its history by Franz von Sickingen's troops. An inscription and a walled-in cannonball on a buttress on the south side of the Wendalinus Basilica commemorate the siege, but it was not installed there until 1922.

    The Wendelsdom (Basilica) is one of the highlights of the town of St. Wendel on the forecourt and life takes place around the cathedral.
