    The Antonius chapel, built in 1763/1764 and well-known beyond the local borders, is the only pilgrimage chapel in the Acherntal.
    She is the third of her kind at this point. The first chapel probably existed as early as 1700, when, according to legend, pigs looking for food in the neighboring acorn garden unearthed the small figure of Saint Anthony above today's tabernacle of the high altar. The shepherds interpreted this as a divine sign and built a small chapel. On the occasion of the 200th anniversary in 1964, the Antonius fountain below the chapel was erected.

    The Antonius chapel was built in 1763/64 in honor of St. Anthony of Padua. It is Oberachern's landmark, a place of pilgrimage and a popular wedding chapel.

    beautiful baroque chapel with fountain, on the edge of the forest above Oberachern,
    dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua.
    From here, the Hans-Jakob-Weg leads through the forest to Illenau.
