Forest Chapel and Hermitage, Reken

Highlight • Religious Site

The forest chapel is situated in a wonderfully peaceful location, nestled along beautiful hiking and cycling trails. It is open to visitors during the day. A document dating back to 1686 mentions the chapel as a place of worship. Hermits lived there until March 3, 1879, caring for the chapel. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and houses a Pietà, a statue depicting the Sorrowful Mother.

For centuries, the forest chapel has been a place of pilgrimage for many believers. Several legends surround this place. Historically, there was a miraculous spring at this hermitage, which, however, dried up many years ago. Picnic areas and resting places (some covered) invite visitors to linger on the grounds.
