Pilgrimage and legend
The oldest Marian pilgrimage in the diocese of Eichstätt is in Buchenhüll . The pilgrimage goes back to an old legend :
The area around today's Buchenhüll was a large forest that princes and bishops liked to go hunting. One day a prince and his horse got lost in this forest. After hours of riding he found a large beech tree on a hull (water hole). The prince got on his horse and prayed that if he should find his way out of the forest he would have a picture of Our Lady attached to the beech. The prince quickly found out and kept his promise. A chapel was built on the site of this miracle, and more and more people came to pray. The village of Buchenhüll came into being here.
