Beautiful and lonely in every season.

The historic building was destroyed in the Napoleonic Wars. What stands here today is a reconstruction. There is a small chapel in the Hermitage building. You can get the key for this from the Räzebore Cultural Association. You can also organize free guided tours through the association. Only the exposed foundation walls of the Maria Reizenborn pilgrimage church remain. However, some wooden benches give a good impression of the dimensions. And there is also a story about this place of pilgrimage. A pilgrimage route to Spain led here. Many pilgrims took a break at the spring, including a mother with her sick child. The water from the spring is said to have healed the child and the child's father then built a chapel at the site in gratitude.

Beautiful restaurant in an idyllic location by the forest

So my daughter was a bit disappointed with the "cave". Even as a child, it was difficult to crawl a few meters into the tunnel. But a flashlight helps with the Schinderhannes Cave adventure. In front of the cave there is a small stream and picnic tables that invite you to linger.

This is a nature reserve... nice to see how nature can develop

The cave can only be reached on step stones over the Hoxbach. And besides, only to explore on all fours and with the muddy ground, I preferred to do without it.

So we didn't want to get in on our knees, but at least we dared to walk on the stones across the stream and take a look inside. And we stopped here, beautiful with the sun shining through the trees

The only 13m long cave in the valley of the Kieselbach was probably used by the Schinderhannes as a hiding place for some time during his many raids in the Hunsrück. Read more: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schinderhannesh%C3%B6hle_(Pferdsfeld)
