The saying "SORGE DICH NOT - LEBE" over the entrance of the chapel.
To the east of Feichten is the Verpilstal valley, in which the so-called "Schönbödele" stands at 2,030 m above sea level, an impressive chapel near the Verpeil hut of the German Alpine Club.
This chapel was built in 1988 by a local doctor from Prutz in a community, and was solemnly consecrated to the Heart of Jesus on July 10 of the same year. Two large gate wings open up the idiosyncratically designed interior. The tower bell, fed solely by solar energy, calls for prayer three times a day.
