Heiligenborn – the Schweich Healing Spring There is hardly a cooler and more relaxing "corner" in the region than the healing spring, which is located northwest of Schweich on the edge of the Meulenwald. There is a total complex consisting of the spring and a connected Marian chapel in a park-like setting. On the east side of the avenue, there are 14 Stations of the Cross that lead to the spring. The use of the healing water, which began in 1602 with reports of miraculous healing powers, led to a well-developed spa operation in the 17th century. According to legend, the trigger was a man who was cured of his skin ailment by the spring water. The chapel and the pathway were built in the 19th century as successors to earlier constructions. In 2001, the facility was renovated and expanded by the local history and tourism association Schweich. Even today, many people visit the spring to fill bottles with the 12.7-degree-cold water or to refresh themselves after a strenuous hike. Next to the healing spring, there is a local recreation area with a wetland habitat that serves as a breeding and living space for waterfowl. A Kneipp footbath and arm bath, both filled with ice-cold spring water for refreshing coolness, along with various resting and relaxation benches, offer opportunities to recuperate.
