From the small rest area there is a good view of the rock formations of the Dermbacher cliffs to the right and left. At the same time, the view extends beyond Dermbach to the 714 meter high Baier and thus to one of the highest mountains in the immediate vicinity.

Fatima Chapel Dermbach

Highlight • Religious Site

This "Fatima Chapel" is dedicated to the Mother of God. It was named after the town of Fatima in Portugal, where Mary appeared several times to some shepherd children in 1917 (i.e. during the First World War). Our Lady revealed three mysteries to the children.
Pope John Paul II attributed his survival of the assassination attempt on him that took place on May 13, 1981 - the commemoration of the first apparition of Mary in Fatima - to Our Lady there. The bullet that almost killed him was later incorporated into the crown of the statue of Mary at Fatima as a votive offering.
