St. Mauritius Castle Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The Burgberg chapel is located just outside the village of Bieber in the middle of the idyllic Spessart landscape. It used to be the "main church" of the village, but today it is mainly used on special holidays or as a backdrop for weddings. The bell, which is located in the bell tower, is still operated in the traditional way using a rope and by hand.

Part 12 of my motivational task ✌️
Bieber Galgenberg Tour

Conclusion: quite nice to walk, …

Today we combined the necessary with the beautiful.
The necessary was shopping at Engelbert Strauss, the beautiful was the short hike on the tranquil Spessart trail.
