Basilica of the Fourteen Holy Helpers (Basilika Vierzehnheiligen)

Highlight • Religious Site

The mountain up to the pilgrimage basilica is tough. Especially in the upper area it gets really steep and the thighs have to work properly. Step in, you can do it!

April 29, 2024,Von Vierzehnheiligen zum Staffelberg

At the end of the day, up the holy mountain. One of the most beautiful moments.
Unfortunately, Monday and Tuesday are closed 🙈... and drinks too... but the backpack is always with you. 😉.
At times, you have the mountain all to yourself.
So beautiful at this time of year!

Today I spontaneously took advantage of the nice weather and walked from Staffelberg to Vierzehnheiligen and back again. Parked the car at the hiking car park below Staffelberg near Romanstal and walked the mostly sunny path to Vierzehnheiligen. Walked backwards on Staffelberg and enjoyed the great view.

Beautiful hike from Vierzehnheiligen to Staffelberg. Great view from the high plateau, refreshment stop in the Staffelberg Klause and a small Adelgundis chapel worth seeing. A visit to the Fourteen Saints Bastion is of course recommended.

Biking or hiking? And where?
