Hülfensberg, Mountain summit in Geismar, Germany
The Hülfensberg rises 448 meters above sea level, featuring a church, Franciscan monastery, and Boniface chapel at its forested peak.
The mountain changed its name from Stuffenberg around the 14th century when the Hülfenskreuz crucifix became central to religious activities.
The St. Salvator church houses a 12th-century Romanesque crucifix depicting Christ with a royal crown, drawing pilgrims throughout the year.
Religious services occur at the mountain chapel every Wednesday at 16:00 from May through October, weather conditions permitting.
During German division, the mountain's location near the border restricted access, reducing pilgrim numbers by two-thirds after 1953.
