The already more than 800-year-old St. Mary's Chapel on top of the wooden mountain above the US is located within much older, early-historic ring walls. It is still used today as a place of pilgrimage.
The many votive tablets inside the chapel testify clearly: Maria helped!

Formerly situated pilgrimage chapel.
In the middle of the forest you can enjoy the peace and quiet, on sunny days the benches in front of the chapel invite you to relax and sunbathe.
The chapel itself is a simple building, it is open to visitors and you can also light candles and take a moment to reflect.

One of the magical places in the Taunus. Even the Germanic tribes are said to have had a thing site here. A court of law has been attested since 1442 and a village called Hozburg with a church has been mentioned in a document since 1218. Presumably, today's chapel goes back to Irish monks who Christianized the wetterau around 700. The annual pilgrimage to the Virgin Mary takes place on August 15th every year. instead of.
