The pilgrimage church of St. Mariä Himmelfahrt in Hessenthal is a very remarkable architectural ensemble. The two Gothic structures, the Chapel of Grace and the old pilgrimage church, are beautiful at first glance. The new pilgrimage church from 1954 is rather sober, but contains extraordinary works of art: the Lamentation of Christ by Tilman Riemenschneider and the Crucifixion group by Hans Backoffen.

A stroll here is worthwhile - if possible with a climb to the castle.

Very idyllic ascent or descent. Here you can enjoy a piece of nature despite the traffic. The gradient percentages are in the relaxed range of (+/-) 4%. I always enjoy coming by here very much.

Super ascent or descent. The gradient percentages stay in the moderate range with a maximum of 8% and the asphalt is quite okay to ride on. In summer, you have to be a bit careful with the play of shadows caused by the sunlight filtering through the treetops. Here and there, you might otherwise overlook a small pothole in the asphalt or a crack/longitudinal joint in the road surface.

Wertheim's old town boasts beautiful architecture: quaint half-timbered houses, magnificent castles, and, of course, the Main and Tauber rivers.

The church is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The interior is rather simple, but still worth seeing.
