Sankt Wendel: Wendalinus Basilica Pilgrimage, Bosener Muehle Cultural Centre, and the Saarland District Town on the Nahe Uplands
Sankt Wendel has about 26,900 inhabitants and lies in the northern Saarland, on the upper Blies river near the Nahe uplands. The Wendalinusbasilika, a late Gothic hall church, contains the tomb of Saint Wendelin and draws pilgrims. The Bosener Muehle, a converted mill on the Bostalsee reservoir, serves as a cultural and literary centre. The annual Wendalinus-Lauf running event passes through the surrounding hills.
Saarbruecken is about 40 kilometres south. Birkenfeld in Rheinland-Pfalz is to the northeast. The Bostalsee, one of the largest reservoirs in southwestern Germany, lies west of the town. Tholey, with its ancient Benedictine abbey, is nearby. The hilly Nahe-Hunsrueck terrain provides walking routes through mixed forest.
