Discover Waldberg

For a stay in Waldberg, you can focus on different aspects, from hiking and pilgrimage connections to local history. Waldberg Chapel, the Felix Pilgrimage Route No. 10 and two hiking options offer concrete ways to explore these themes. When planning, it helps to consider more than just the length of the trails: circular route, starting point, stated difficulty and a particular theme are also useful features.

Chapel, Statue and Pilgrimage Route

Waldberg Chapel was built in 1834. A stone statue of Felix of Cantalice stands in front of it. The statue was erected in 1739 by Franz Adam Count Polheim, the then owner of Schwarzenau Castle. The Felix Pilgrimage Route No. 10 is named after Felix of Cantalice; one section passes through Waldberg. The chapel, statue and pilgrimage route thus offer different ways to explore local history: architectural history, a work of art and a route connected to its namesake. The dates refer to different objects: 1739 marks the erection of the statue, and 1834 the construction of the chapel.

After passing through Waldberg, a path leads to a viewpoint with panoramic views. This adds a scenic destination to the historical points of interest. When choosing your day's activities, you can focus on the chapel, statue and pilgrimage route, or make a trail with a scenic destination your priority.
