St. Willibald Parish Church The hall church with its eastern chancel tower is of Romanesque origin, was remodeled in the Gothic period, refurnished in the Baroque era, and extended westward by two bays in 1834. The 52-meter-high church tower, built of sandstone blocks, bears the date 1491 on a corner stone; the spire was constructed from timbers dating from 1771. A gatehouse ("hay tower") from the 14th/15th century is part of the former churchyard fortifications; the cemetery itself was relocated outside the churchyard in 1864. Only three Gothic statues survived the iconoclasm of the 16th century (St. Nicholas, St. Willibald, and St. James the Apostle). The three Baroque altars were probably created by Johann Ulrich Wiest from Schrobenhausen around 1753. The altarpiece depicts St. Willibald and his sister, St. Walburga's Assumption into Glory is symbolized by the Blessed Virgin Mary with the Christ Child. The work was created by Johann Chrysostomus Wink, court painter of Eichstätt. The altarpiece is framed by figures of the parents of St. Willibald and St. Walburga, St. Richard, and his wife, St. Wuna. The upper section depicts the Holy Trinity. The left side altar shows the Blessed Virgin Mary with Child as Queen of Heaven, with St. Joseph to her left and St. Joachim, her father, to her right. The right side altar is dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua; to his left is St. Francis Xavier, one of the most important missionaries in church history, and to his right is St. John Nepomuk. The frescoes, framed by simple stucco, were painted in 1874 by Georg Lang, a church painter from Deiningen, in the Nazarene style. The church organ was built by the organ builder Andreas M. Ott from Bensheim. The church tower houses four bells; the "Evangelist Bell" dates from the early 14th century and is thus one of the oldest bells in the Diocese of Eichstätt. Three additional bells were added after the war, brought from Erding and Heidelberg. Source: Excerpts from the church guide

A first church was consecrated around 1060 in honor of St. Willibald, the founding bishop of the Diocese of Eichstätt. Formerly also a fortified church with four defensive towers—the "Hay Tower" from the 14th/15th century still stands, the others were demolished in the 17th century due to their dilapidated condition—the church has been remodeled several times. For example, in 1491 the church tower was built as a "pointing finger to heaven," but was partially destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. The church is a single-nave building (without dividing columns in the interior).

European watershed

This is the main European watershed, which separates the inflows to the open Atlantic, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea from those to the Mediterranean and Black Sea. It runs from Gibraltar to Moscow. Source: Wikipedia

The path winds through a beautiful beech forest up to the Buchberg (591 meters). Keep your eyes open for the rock towers of the Teufelskeller, which are hidden in the forest just before the summit.

The Buchberg is a very nice area for single trail fans.
