Hiking

St. Mary of Loreto on the Kobel in Westheim near Augsburg, also called Kobelkirche, is a Roman Catholic curate and pilgrimage church. It is located on the Kobelberg in the west of Augsburg, embedded in the protected landscape area Kobelwald.

Its structural core is a Loreto chapel, which was built in 1602 in the exact form of the "Holy House" of Loreto. The chapel, to which the probably oldest Loretowallfahrt of South Germany, perhaps also Germany, developed, was enlarged to a church, whereby today the actual Loretokapelle occupies the function of the choir space of the church.

The Kobel Church of St. Mary of Loreto is located on the Kobelberg in Neusäß-Westheim and is one of the oldest Loreto chapels in Germany, built in 1602. Originally built around a replica of the "Holy House" of Loreto, the church was later expanded. It is still a popular place of pilgrimage today, especially during the "Women's Thirties" (15 August to 15 September). The Kobel Church combines historical, architectural and spiritual significance and is a place of reflection in the Augsburg region.
