Heyerberg Chapel and Stations of the Cross

The Heyerberg Chapel is the only remnant of the former Heyer fiefdom, which stood further down in the field. The original Heyerberg Chapel was a popular destination for processions, but was demolished in the 18th century. In the 19th century the chapel was rebuilt with the ingeniously designed little way of the cross.

A beautifully located historic chapel with a very well preserved Way of the Cross. Because of the shadow situation an absolutely beautiful place for contemplative rest and take a breather.

Every Way of the Cross, which - like here on the outskirts of Borler - usually leads up a hill, is reminiscent of "Golgotha" ("skull height") near Jerusalem, the place of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The forerunner of the now common way of the cross with 14 stations was a shorter version with 7 stations, often referred to as the "Walk to the Seven Footfalls".
