    Tips

    The Waldkapelle is wonderfully quiet and on beautiful hiking and cycling trails. It is open to visitors during the day. A document from 1686 refers to the place of worship. Hermits lived there until March 3, 1879, and looked after the chapel. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and houses a representation of a "Pieta", a statue representing the Sorrowful Mother.

    For centuries, the forest chapel has been a place for many believers. There are a number of legends surrounding this place. So it is historical that there was a miraculous spring at this Hermitage, but it dried up many years ago. On the site, (partly covered) picnic and resting areas invite you to linger.

        Chapel, tables and benches are very nice and invites you to linger, chapel is open daily for everyone. There used to be a source that was said to have healing properties. Unfortunately, this is dried up.
