This small Marian sanctuary did not get its name and patronage from one of the many people venerated as saints. LORETO is an internationally renowned Marian pilgrimage site in central Italy, in the Marche region. However, the place did not become famous due to apparitions of the Mother of God, like for example "Lourdes" (1858) in the French Pyrenees or "Fatima" (1917) in Portugal. The tradition of Marian veneration in Loreto dates back much further: since the end of the 13th century, a building has been venerated there, which is considered to be the childhood home of Mary in Nazareth. According to legend, angels brought the so-called "SANTA CASA" from Israel to that location – with some intermediate stops. The original sanctuary of Loreto, which serves as a model for the chapel listed here, can be found in the komoot system at the following link: + https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1580848

A must-see! The sunken lane leading to the panoramic viewpoint at the beginning of the Landauer Weg trail offers a breathtaking panorama. Afterwards, a stop at the Herxemer Ranch is highly recommended.
