Hiking

The chapel was built by J. Grüner from Saugendorf in gratitude for the return from five years of imprisonment after the Second World War. This small structure has no windows, but an open arched entrance. On the wooden altar is a 105 cm tall Mary Queen with the baby Jesus (29 cm) in her arms.

Nice little chapel between Saugendorf and Waischenfeld. The statue of the Virgin Mary is particularly worth seeing
