In 2010 this new wooden forest chapel was built.
Saint Jost is the patron saint of pilgrims.
Every year on the first Saturday of the Hessian summer holidays in the chapel, the Ecumenical Day of Pilgrimage in Fischbachtal begins with a devotion.

This chapel in the middle of the forest exerts a special charm on me.

The new wooden forest chapel was built in 2010 very close to the place where the old St. Jost Chapel is said to have once stood. The St.-Jost pilgrimage route (J1) leads along the chapel.
Sankt Jost (or Jodok (us), Iudocus, Judochus, Jobst, Jost, Joost, Josse, Joist, Yuzek, Juzeg, Jeg, Jouveen or Judganoc called) is the patron saint of pilgrims, boatmen, bakers; the blind; of infirmaries and domestic animals; for a good harvest; against thunderstorms, damaging fires, grain fires, fever, plague and diseases.

Every year on the first Saturday of the Hessian summer vacation, the Ecumenical Pilgrimage Day in Fischbachtal begins with a prayer in the chapel.
