In the middle of the Kempter Wald lies this small chapel on the roadside, inviting you for a short, contemplative break. Just stop for a moment, enjoy a moment of silence and then continue relaxed and full of energy. :)

The Kempter Forest (also Kempten Forest) is a large forest area east of Kempten (Allgäu) in the districts of Ober- and Ostallgäu. The Kempter Forest reaches heights of up to approx. 960 m above sea level south of Hauptmannsgreut and near Bodelsberg.

The Kempter Forest is part of the pre-alpine Allgäu moor and hill landscape, which was shaped during the last ice age. One of the largest boulder collections in the entire Northern Alps dates from this period, with over 4000 boulders, the largest of which (Dengelstein, Beichelstein, Baltenstein, the Stein) reaching impressive sizes of over 3000 m³ and 20 m in diameter.

The forest is the source of several streams and small rivers (e.g. the Kirnach and the Durach), whose waters then flow into the Iller or the Wertach.

The Swabian-Allgäu hiking trail leading from Augsburg to Lake Constance (also a section of the Munich Way of St. James) crosses the Kempter Forest. It leads past the forest chapel, built in 1938, which stands in the middle of the forest.
