Germany Churchruin Maria Hilf
Dating back to the Thirty Years' War when a local pastor mounted a picture of Maria to an old oak tree. Soon pilgrims from all over the country showed up resulting in building the pilgrimage church. In 1811 the pilgrimage was officially closed and the church was sold for salvage. Due to the fact that the region is rich in stones most of the walls remained.
Photography Tips
Come here in the afternoon or at sunset when the setting sun hits the old church walls. A drone reveals the true beauty and shows the unique location.
Travel Information
There is no direct parking because the church is located deep in the forest. Many paths lead to the church which are not allowed for motorized vehicles. Park at the end of those paths.
