Marienkapelle on the hill near Kaimling

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel (Marienkapelle) is located on a hill between Kaimling and Leuchtenberg. Very well-kept area that invites you to linger and take a break. Good vision. Unfortunately closed.

Again and again, the stones in the stream form smaller waterfalls and make the Lerau valley a real sight. Here the rushing of the brook can be heard particularly well and you can see it through the trees.

Great opportunity to cross the Leraubach without getting your feet wet. Be careful when the granite stones are wet or damp.

May 26, 2024,Wanderung durch meterhohes Gras mit tollen Eindrücken incl. Zecken 😬😬

Nice tour, but according to the hiking map the paths are not well maintained... meter-high grass etc. We had great impressions but also came home with ticks....
