Hiking

In 1949, the residents of Miellen decided to create a memorial to honor the dead of all peoples and wars. This chapel was built between 1950 and 1952 under the overall organization of Alfred Sabel. The chapel is located on the Martinikopf. All building materials were laboriously dragged up there. After a newspaper reported on the construction of this chapel, donations came in from European countries, India, Australia and the USA.
A beautiful place with a wonderful view that inspires reflection.
