The chapel is located on the medieval salt road from Immenstadt (Allgäu) to Bregenz (Vorarlberg). In Genhofen, the Röder (salt wagon drivers) would stop, have their horses shod, and pray in the chapel so that, with God's help, they would safely climb the "Hahnschenkel" (a long climb). Those with a sense of history can take a break here and/or, like the Röder, pray in the chapel for sufficient air in their tires.
