A detour from the path is worth it. The Emsdom itself is already an impressive highlight. Benches all around invite you to linger.

The church, situated on a hill, has changed its appearance repeatedly over the centuries. However, parts of the church are still said to be over 1000 years old. The tower was rebuilt after it collapsed during a storm in 1811, destroying large sections of the vault.
