Tips from the Community
St. Anne's Chapel near Niederschlettenbach is a medieval pilgrimage chapel containing the tomb of the knight Hans von Droth (also known as Troth or Trotha). Saint Anne is the patron saint of miners and boatmen. This suggests that the chapel was built on this site to praise God, as mining was practiced in the Wasgau region from an early period. A former iron ore mine is also located in the immediate vicinity.

It was dry yesterday. Too bad, I could have used some cool water to refill it.

Saint Anne is the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the grandmother of Jesus Christ—not attested in the biblical texts. She is mentioned, however, in apocryphal (i.e., not included in the canon of the Bible) writings, for example, in the so-called "Protoevangelium of James." There is no historically verified information about Anne's life, but numerous traditional stories exist, summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine. Among many other places of worship—such as this one—she is the patron saint of St. Anne's Church in Düren (North Rhine-Westphalia), where a piece of her skullcap has been kept and venerated as a relic since the early 16th century. In the church calendar, Saint Anne's feast day—together with her husband Joachim—is July 26th.

8 km through the countryside. It runs smoothly here. And there's relatively little traffic.

A beautiful climb. At the Helmbachweiher pond, you can take a short swim break or raid the kiosk.
