A very beautiful church. Riding up by bike is rather difficult, so it's better to leave it at the lovely town pond and walk to the church.

Very nice leisure facility with swimming pool

The Bockl Cycle Path runs from Neustadt an der Waldnaab to Eslarn and vice versa. It's mostly paved, with slight inclines.

Great, well-kept and clean cabin.

Beautiful old carriage. It also has information about the region on board.

Pilgrimage Church of Saint Jodok At the eastern entrance to Tännesberg, on the edge of the extensive Tännesberg Forest, lies the pilgrimage church of Saint Jodok. With its distinctive roof turret and a gilded cross on the ridge, it adorns the entrance to the town. The pilgrimage church only appears regularly in sources from 1550 onwards. However, it was built in its earlier form in the 11th century. During the Thirty Years' War, the church was destroyed by fire and completely destroyed. The church, which was popular with the population, was rebuilt and ceremoniously consecrated in its current form in 1690. It is the only church in the Upper Palatinate that is dedicated to Saint Jodok, who was greatly revered in the early Middle Ages. Jodok is the patron saint of pilgrims, the sick, fishermen and farmers. The altarpiece on the high altar testifies to his life as a hermit and his willingness to share his last bread with a beggar. The black altarpieces and the image of the patron saints St. Sebastian and St. Rochus on the left side altar indicate that the church was a so-called "plague church". In the background of the altarpiece you can see the oldest depiction of Tännesberg from 1680. The relic of St. Jodok is located in a small, gilded shrine on the tabernacle of the church. At the consecration of the new people's altar in 2022, the so-called "reliquary grave" was embedded in the massive stone block of the altar, containing the mortal remains of the diocesan patrons St. Wolfgang, St. Erhard, and the youngest saint Anna Schäffer. Under the Mary altar on the north wall, a reclining wax figure of St. Nepomuk can be seen in a glass sarcophagus. Another special feature of the church is the renovated baroque organ on the wooden gallery from 1850. The lavishly restored flat wooden slatted ceiling, divided into panels, conveys a pleasant warmth when entering the church through the entrance building. The Viennese plague cross from 1690 shows how well known the pilgrimage site of Tännesberg was in the Middle Ages. When the plague broke out in Vienna that year, pilgrims made their way to Tännesberg to ask for help. As soon as they arrived there, they received the news that the plague had stopped. Out of gratitude, the pilgrims left the processional cross behind. The so-called Jodokritt dates back to 1796 and has been celebrated annually since the 1970s.
