Close to heaven 😇 with heavenly views, a lively pilgrimage siteAccording to the founding myth of the chapel, a blind man from Alsace swore that if he ever regained his sight, he would build a chapel in honor of Mary on the first mountain he saw. As a Marian shrine, the Hörnleberg is known beyond the borders of the Elz Valley.

The chapel on the Hörnleberg is an absolute eye-catcher and a beautiful photo motif
