The chapel on the Krippenstein is dedicated to the 13-headed school class who died in the spring of 1954 during their trip to Krippenstein in a dramatic weather crash. The chapel has been standing since 1959 and in the bell tower a small bell hangs from Heilbronn, the hometown of the students.

Great all-round view, a visit to the small church is also recommended
