A relatively isolated spot, away from the neighboring villages, was chosen as the site for the memorial chapel. A former quarry is located nearby, but it's not about the workers who may have lost their lives doing this hard and dangerous work. It's dedicated to the victims of war and tyranny. By keeping the memory of the victims alive across generations, the site fulfills a second, no less important function: to remind hikers of the need to maintain peace.

PS: Here, too, after completing the trail, the komoot system repeatedly asks whether they would like to recommend this highlight. This is because it has been recreated twice (in some cases even more often) by different people. The original is available as =>> komoot.com/de-de/highlight/2561297

A little below the chapel, the statue adorns the path.

The fallen memorial chapel stands on a rock at the beginning of the Swiss valley. An angel keeps watch a bend in the road below.
