Near the chapel there is an old bowl stone, one of the most beautiful in Austria. It is at least 50,000 years old and is attributed to the cult of the dead. The sacrificial stone served as a cult stone, where the fertility ritual was symbolized by rubbing out the bowls, but it was also assumed that the stone powder rubbed out of the stone had a healing effect when dissolved in water.
