The very small chapel, which was built here above due to the pilgrimage between Holzgau and Oberstdorf, has been standing since the 17th century. She was, however, repeatedly torn by avalanches into the valley and had to be rebuilt several times. The small chapel was already used as a waypoint for the pilgrims from bygone days, later protecting the shepherds and today is a popular resting place for mountaineers on about half of the ascent to the Kemptner Hütte.

You automatically walk past this station when you go to the Kemptner Hütte. You only have to climb a few steps.

Nice quiet place to stay, pause, ask for something or say thank you.

When you arrive at the chapel on the knee, you have already covered a good part of the way to the Kemptner Hut and can take a break for your body and soul on the benches.
Perhaps this is also a good opportunity to ask for safe routes for the next few days.

A long-time destination for pilgrims, the chapel is elevated with a wide view over the valley.

Just a few steps away from the Sperrbachtobel path on the ascent from Spielmannsau to the Kemptner Hut.

Unfortunately, the E5 enthusiasts mistake them for a DIXI
