    In the summit area is the ruin of the former pilgrimage church, the oldest building in Wunsiedel, which was consecrated to St. Catherine of Alexandria. The time of its creation is unknown, in a letter of indulgence from October 1, 1364, sealed by 14 archbishops and bishops, it was first mentioned in a document. The former mountain chapel contained a widely famous miraculous image of St. Catherine, which attracted many pilgrims. Source: Wikipedia.

        Do not take the direct signposted route. If you continue along Kellergasse and take the second right (not the one to the hunting school) and then right again, you will cross a beautiful avenue at the end of which you will find the ruins of the church.
