The Veit chapel, a lovable souvenir of the town of Wattenhofen, which had long since left before the Thirty Years' War, is ten minutes east of Hofstetten. The new construction area “Zur Veitskapelle” shows the way there. Places with the ending “hofen” go back to the 8th century. Wattenhofen, “Zu den Höfe des Wato oder Wado”, could be an interpretation of the name of the settlement.

If you walk the forest trail, you will find a nice table with two benches here at the Veitskapelle. Great rest stop.
