The St. Johann Baptist branch church is located in the St. Johannisrain district of the city of Penzberg. Sankt Johannisrain is mentioned for the first time as sand Iohanns Rain in 1332 in a document by Ludwig of Bavaria. The small church is very exposed and you can enjoy views of the Zugspitze from there.

A beautiful chapel in a beautiful landscape, I passed by it in 2022 on my first cycling trip "Around Germany".
