Beautiful, well-kept forest chapel. A place where many people have already expressed their gratitude in the form of votive tablets, which fortunately has so far been spared from blemishes such as graffiti.

Next to it a seat with table and a closed on three sides shelter without a table.

As already written, very nice and well-kept little chapel, nice that there is something else.

The wooden forest chapel was built in the 1980s by the citizens of Erkersruhr (Ottmar Wollgarten and his colleagues). As the numerous motif panels inside show, people keep making pilgrimages here to ask the Mother of God for help and intercession.
