The pilgrimage church of St. Kunigund on Altenberg near Aub was built around 1232 to 1240. Legend has it that one of the three veils that Empress Kunigunde threw from the church tower in distant Bamberg was caught in the 1000-year-old linden tree - with the promise to build churches where the veils would be found. Here at the Kunigunden chapel is the beginning of the approximately 110-kilometer pilgrimage to Bamberg.

The chapel is unfortunately only open on Sundays (from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.).
