Tips from the Community
The name dates back to Maria Theresa (1717–1780), Archduchess of Austria and ruler of the Austrian Netherlands, which included the area around Bollendorf in the 18th century. Today, the Maria-Theresien-Stein primarily serves as a waypoint within the ‘Grüne Hölle’ (Green Hell) listening tour. It is integrated into the route guidance and is presented as a stop with scenic and historical significance during the tour.

Text according to the information panel: The large, sculpted stone was erected during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, around the 18th century. It marked the border between the lordships of Echternach and Vianden, thus forming the border region between the Duchy of Luxembourg and the Electorate of Trier. The east side of the stone displays the coat of arms of Echternach Abbey: Saint Willibrord with his bishop's staff. The west side, however, bears the coat of arms of the County of Vianden with a rampant lion. On the Echternach side, one can also see the letters A.O. (Abbatia Ordinis – Abbey Order) and E.E. (Echternachensis Ecclesiae – Church of Echternach). On the Vianden side, the letters C.V. (Comitatus Vianden – County of Vianden) can be read. The stone was restored and re-erected in the 1970s. Originally, it stood slightly further south, directly on the historical border. Today it is located on the hiking trail between Bollendorf and Wallendorf.

In my opinion, it's a very long weir for such a small river, but it certainly has its uses. In any case, it's definitely worth seeing.

According to local legend, the Ascension Day procession originated as a thanksgiving procession during the plague. However, according to the parish chronicle, the origins of the current form of the procession date back to the 18th century, when Mettendorf still belonged to Prüm Abbey. Until 1757, the citizens made an annual pilgrimage to Prüm. This was followed by the French Revolution, during which no procession took place. The custom was reintroduced around 1850. Today, the pilgrimage on this day leads to the field shrine "Maasch Kapellchen."
