Small chapel in the middle of the forest with a beautiful altarpiece inside. According to a legend, a hunter who had been tied up by poachers was freed by the Blessed Mother here.

The hunting picture is a forest chapel made of wood near the highest peak of the Sauwald, the Haugstein (895 m). In the chapel you can find the sunk of a beech trunk, around which a gruesome legend is entwined. 300 years ago the princely Passaurian chief hunter Greiner is said to have been tied upside down by poachers over an anthill to the trunk of a beech tree.
