St. Joseph's Chapel (Josefskapelle) at Josefsflecken

Very cute little chapel in excellent condition. It's worth taking a break here.

This chapel in Unterammergau is dedicated to Saint Joseph, the foster father of Jesus Christ. Like Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, he is a man on the threshold between the Old and New Testaments. Joseph came from the House of David, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was a carpenter by trade and the fiancé of the Mother of God Mary.
The feast day of Saint Joseph in the calendar of saints is March 19th, and the church also celebrates the feast of "Joseph the Worker" on May 1st.

The Josefskapelle, also called the chapel at Josefsflecken, is a path chapel in the Ammergau Alps in the Upper Bavarian municipality of Unterammergau. In addition to the veneration of St. Joseph, the chapel serves to commemorate those who died in the mountains
