Kalvarienberg, Religious mountain site in Blankenheim, Germany.
The Kalvarienberg rises to 523 meters, featuring fourteen stations depicting scenes from the crucifixion along a one-kilometer path through juniper-covered slopes.
Count Salentin Ernest of Manderscheid-Blankenheim established seven stations of the cross between 1663 and 1680, with seven additional stations constructed in the 1800s.
The mountain hosts annual Easter Week processions starting from St. Agatha Church, continuing a tradition that spans more than three centuries.
The site remains accessible from June through October, with maintained paths leading visitors through one of North Rhine-Westphalia's largest juniper heathlands.
A flock of 600 sheep maintains the grasslands around Kalvarienberg, supporting 31 different orchid species and creating habitats for diverse butterfly populations.
