Hand & Foot Art Installation

Highlight • Monument

In the middle of the forest you come across the art installation “Hand & Foot”. There is a bench opposite the sculpture so you can sit down and think deeply.

Along the idyllic stream and then over it. There is no bridge.

Healing Spring, Emmelshausen-Basselscheid

Highlight • Natural Monument

The church chronicle of Emmelshausen reports that the shepherd and farmer saint Wendelinus came to this area with his flock and a helper who had an eye sickness and was in great distress on a hot summer day due to lack of water. Then the Blessed Mother appeared in her sleep and let the spring gush out.
Warning: the slate floor by the well is very slippery when wet (regardless of whether it is raining or well water)!

The church chronicle of Emmelshausen recounts that Saint Wendelin, the shepherd and farmer saint, came to this area with his flock and an assistant suffering from an eye ailment. On a hot summer day, they found themselves in dire straits due to a lack of water. Then, the Virgin Mary appeared to him in a dream and caused the spring to gush forth.

Through the missionary work of the Sacred Heart Fathers after the First World War (1918), the pilgrimage site was gradually transformed into a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The statue of the Virgin Mary was crafted in 1955 by the Mettler woodcarving workshop in Morbach. The side figures are Saint Wendelin and Saint Thaddeus.

The stone plaques bearing expressions of thanksgiving attest to the veneration of Mary.

Lots of photos this time because there was so much to see on this hike. Past a lot of sculptures, over an open field, through a grove along the stream (unfortunately almost dried up.) And also through the stream 🥾 Shoes stayed dry 😀 Well walkable path.

This path had been on the list for a long time and today it was time. Best hiking weather and a great idea. Was really fun!

A veritable carpet of blossoms of cornflowers and poppies at the beginning really makes you want to go on this tour. Then you pass a very idiosyncratic, screamingly colorfully designed house as well as several works of art in this style - a kind of art that literally jumps at you😅🙈. The path leads over fields with a wonderful view. …
