On the Jakobusweg from Effeltrich in the direction of Hetzles on the "Oberen Bühl" there is an unusual octagonal corridor chapel. Its designation "Mindful of the Path" indicates the importance of the chapel for the pilgrims. It is on the way that leads from Bamberg to Nuremberg, with long-term destinations in Italy and Spain. The octagonal shape of the chapel should be reminiscent of the church “Santa Maria von Eunate” - located on the Camino de Santiago in Spain. This type of construction can be found mainly in early Christian churches. The overhead windows are intended to protect the room. The colored, hand-blown Lamberts glasses are a real eye-catcher. The four cardinal virtues of bravery, justice, prudence and temperance can be found between the roof structure and the windows. In between the Christian virtues of faith, hope and love. The center is the altar, a natural oak trunk. The surrounding benches in the church symbolize the way they are set up: Nobody is sitting in the back or in front.

The builder of the chapel offers further information on the website 8x8sam.de/htm/chronik.html.

Here you have a nice view.
You can also pray for strength to create the Hetzleser Berg. 😉
