    (Translated by Google) The beautiful pilgrimage church of Mariä Heimsuchen, affectionately known as "Käppele", is located above the beautiful city of Würzburg. Whether pilgrims, pilgrims or tourists, the place is something special for everyone. A very beautiful building with the miraculous image of the Virgin Mary. The Orta is worth visiting . Peace and contemplation with a fantastic view. Parking is available free of charge. If the recession has helped or liked you, then I look forward to a LIKE your Sina. (Original) Die wunderschöne Wallfahrtskirche Mariä Heimsuchen liebevoll ,,Käppele" genannt, liegt üver der schönen Stadt Würzburg. Ob Wallfahrer, Pilger oder Tourist für jeden ist der Ort etwas besonderes. Ein sehr schönes Bauwerk mit dem Gnadenbild der Gottesmutter Maria. Der Orta lohnt sich zu besichtigen. Ruhe und Besinnung mit traumhaften Blick. Parkplätze stehen kostenfrei zur Verfügung. Wenn euch die Rezession gefallen oder geholfen hat dann freue ich mich über ein LIKE eure Sina.

    One of the most beautiful church I have visited across Germany. A pilgrimage site dating 17th century located on the parallel hillside of Marienberg fortress. Can be reached through a walk from Löwenbrücke. It can be tiring to walk all those steep stairs but the panoramic view of Würzburg that it provides is worth all the efforts. On the way up you cross 14 stations depicting the story of the cross carried by Jesus with beautifully carved sculptures. The forest behind the church is worth taking a walk. Autumn time is specially recommended as it becomes exceptionally beautiful.

    Kappele Sanctuary is a very important architecture of religion that everyone who visits Würzburg have to visit Kappele in order to see medieval construction and in the same time art of 18 - 19 centuries.

  • 5/5 Ru W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) If you look south from the southern wall of the Marienberg Fortress, you can see the Catholic pilgrimage church Käppele from the 18th century in approx. 600 m as the crow flies. It is clearly visible on a slope in the middle of a beautiful landscape and looks down on Würzburg. (Original) Schaut man von der südlichen Mauer der Festung Marienberg nach Süden, erblickt man in ca. 600 m Luftlinie die katholische Wallfahrtskirche Käppele aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Gut sichtbar liegt sie an einem Hang inmitten schöner Landschaft und schaut auf Würzburg hinab.

  • 5/5 Mike T. 3 years ago on Google
    If climbing more than 250 stairs for a fantastic view over the city is something that sounds good to you, you should definitely consider visiting the Käppele. The via dolorosa illustrates the 14 stations to a splendid rococo pilgrimage church. Check the free not for profit student project use-it Würzburg to read up on this place.

    (Translated by Google) One of the highlights of Würzburg even in times of lockdown. Especially when you continue to climb the stairs and enjoy the view of the city. Those who then descend via the Frankenwarte and Höchberg have also fulfilled the day's exercise goal without meeting too many people. (Original) Eines der Highlights von Würzburg auch in Zeiten des Lockdowns. Vor allem wenn man die Stufen weiter hochsteigt und den Ausblick auf die Stadt genießen kann. Wer dann noch über die Frankenwarte und Höchberg absteigt, hat auch gleich das Bewegungsziel des Tages erfüllt, ohne allzu vielen Menschen zu begegnen.
