The small chapel is carved directly into the rock. Impressive, considering what possibilities existed at the time. Very nice highlight on the wayside!translated by

If you come on foot from the Matreier Tauerhaus, you can visit the rock chapel in front of the Venedigerhaus. The chapel has a large historical background.
