Mountain biking

If you take a look, the chapel ruins were built in 1826 in the historicizing neo-Gothic style and have a somewhat mystical effect in the middle of the forest. Be careful, the ruins are very dilapidated.

Hiking

The fence has been replaced, but it's already damaged again and has been pushed down a bit. You can walk all the way around the ruins and see pretty much everything. You don't have to climb over the fence; it's fine without it 😉.
