The chapel is a popular place of silence and rest for hikers and visitors. The most impressive thing inside the chapel is a carved wooden relief depicting the legend of Saint Hubert. The six meter long work of art shows St. Hubertus kneeling in front of a stag with a luminous cross. Faced with the cross, Hubertus was converted to Christianity and later became a bishop in France.

Let's say a very unusual interior design for a chapel, even when it comes to the Hubertus.
