A beautiful church on the bike path 👍

The air in the pavilion has a salt content of about 25%, which moisturizes and positively influences the respiratory tract. I found it pleasant 😊

The idea of creating a Resurrection Trail around the parish of Höchheim arose at Easter 2010. For many years, Protestant Christians from the towns of Irmelshausen, Höchheim, and Rothausen have gathered there on Easter morning to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus in a sunrise service. This tradition inspired Pastor Beate Hofmann-Landgraf and the church council to create a circular hiking trail around the three parishes, focusing on the resurrection of Christ. Funding for the project was secured through the then Regional Bishop Christian Schmidt and his "Gerne evangelisch" project, so the trail was implemented relatively quickly in cooperation with the House of Church Services in Hanover and inaugurated on Easter Monday 2012.

This church, the pilgrimage church in Ipthausen, has chosen the birth of the Mother of God Mary as its patron saint. Her birth is not specifically mentioned in the biblical writings of the New Testament, nor are her parents, but early apocryphal writings (i.e. not included in the canon of the official Bible) named Saint Anne and her husband Saint Joachim as their parents. The Church of Saint Anne - located on Lake Bethesda in Jerusalem - is considered to be the location of the Mother of God's parents' house. The Catholic Church celebrates the memorial day "Nativity of Mary" on September 8th, as do the Orthodox and Anglican Christians.
