St. Anna Pilgrimage Chapel Annaberg

Highlight • Religious Site

The pilgrimage chapel St. Anna is located southwest of Haltern am See on a southern foothills of the Hohe Mark. A documentary mention of the chapel was made in 1378, which was dedicated to the holy Anna / Anna selbdritt. From about 1556 the first pilgrimages to the chapel took place. Nearby is a spring that was said to have a curative effect at that time. The present-day old chapel dates from 1653, its modern extension to 1967. Many displaced persons from Silesia have transferred their traditional Annaberg pilgrimage here. In the immediate vicinity of the sanctuary there are accommodation for the pilgrims.

Hervester Schwall (Lippe River Rapids)

Highlight • River

The otherwise calmly flowing lip has clear waves there. You can see them from the bridge. You can only really experience the waves when you go down to the river bank. So get off the bike and continue on foot.
