Mountain biking

South of Rommelsried, towards Deubach, is the Holy Sepulcher Chapel, which was built in the Gothic Revival style in 1868. It was donated by the Georg and Walburga Hörmann family from Rommelsried and contains an altar that is probably unique in Germany today and is adorned with hundreds of Bohemian glass beads. This altar was manufactured and erected by the Emil Sbitek company from Olomouc in Moravia in 1871.
Only a few of these glass bead altars exist outside of Germany, for example in Austria, the Czech Republic and Poland, but these are only set up during Holy Week.

In 1868 the Hörmann family from Rommelsried had the complex with stations of the cross and the extraordinary Holy Sepulcher chapel built at their own expense. The Holy Sepulcher Chapel contains an altar that is probably unique in Germany today and is adorned with hundreds of Bohemian glass beads. This altar was made and erected in Moravia in 1871.
