The patronage of the Klausen pilgrimage church, “Visitation of Mary (or in another spelling: Mariä)” refers to one of the many memorial days or festivals in honor of the Mother of God Mary. The term “Visitation” – which has negative connotations in our current way of expression or thinking – refers in the Bible to Mary’s visit to her relative Elizabeth. She was married to Zacharias and the marriage remained childless, which was a social stigma at the time. But despite her advanced age, she became pregnant, which the Archangel Gabriel told Mary when he brought her the message that she herself would give birth to the Son of God, Jesus. The son of Elizabeth and Zacharias was John, nicknamed “the Baptist,” who is considered the forerunner/pioneer of Jesus Christ.

The name of the viewing point at “Galgenberg” indicates a historical use, as gallows hills were often places where punishments used to be carried out.

You have to "incorporate" this little stretch into your tour. Simply brilliant, especially when it is at the end of a tour.

The lock in Detzem is a wonderful vantage point. The local lock bridges a height difference of an incredible 9 meters. This is the greatest drop of all the locks on the Moselle! The lock can easily be reached on foot or by bike from the town. It is impressive to watch how a large ship overcomes this height in the lock chamber in such a short time.
