Bogenberg, Sacred mountain in Bogen, Germany.
The Bogenberg rises 432 meters above the Danube Valley, featuring steep slopes on its southern and western sides formed by river erosion.
Medieval counts of Bogen established their residence on this mountain, which later became one of Germany's first Marian pilgrimage locations in 1104.
The pilgrimage church contains a medieval sculpture depicting the pregnant Virgin Mary with visible baby Jesus inside her transparent womb.
Multiple walking paths lead to the summit, where visitors find information panels about the natural environment, culture, and regional history.
Every Pentecost Sunday, pilgrims carry a 13-meter tall, 50-kilogram wooden pole up the mountain during a 75-kilometer traditional procession.
