The most demanding section through the Viamala Gorge was once marked by two sacred buildings: in the north by the St. Albin chapel (first mentioned in the 12th century), in the north by the completely abandoned chapel of St. Ambriesch (first mentioned around 1209 ). The only pictorial representation of Sankt Ambriesch comes from the Dutch painter Jan Hackaert, but it shows the chapel only as a ruin as early as 1655. The Chapel of St. Albin, on the other hand, still has the remains of a cross-vaulted lancet cap above the choir, which suggests an early, perhaps even late Roman-early medieval construction period. There was once a rest stop here at the end of the Carschenna Maiensäss.

Unfortunately no longer recognizable as a chapel, but still nice to look at
