The small pilgrimage chapel of St. Wendel zum Stein stands against a ten-meter-high rock face in the nature reserve of the same name. It was built between 1511 and 1515 on the orders of Ursula von Berlichingen.

St. Wendel has everything you need for a real folk sanctuary: a picturesque place made of rocks and caves, a spring that is said to give fertility, a legend about a lonely shepherd who built the chapel according to divine instructions. Built on the rock, the Gothic chapel stands on a narrow strip between the rock face and the Jagstufer - there is something magical about that. However, the magic is devalued by the constant noise of the main road on the other bank.
