Hiking

Large iron crosses are attached to the trees surrounding the ruins of St. Ursula's Chapel. They are intended to commemorate the chapel's presumed builders in the late 14th century, the Knights of the Teutonic Order. Their emblem was a black cross on a white background. The Roman Catholic religious order, officially known as the "Order of the Brothers of the German House of St. Mary in Jerusalem," is a relic of the Crusades. Recognized by the Pope in 1199, it continues to exist today as a charitable organization in Germany, Austria, Italy (South Tyrol), Slovenia, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
