Velemi Szent Vid kápolna: A settlement existed at the present site of the chapel as early as the Bronze Age. A monk built a hermitage there in the 18th century. The chapel acquired its present appearance in the 19th century.

It's a lovely walk from Velem. Those who don't want to take the strenuous route can drive a little closer.
