    Hiking

    Not far from the chapel St. Moritz is the oracle source - Moritzquelle. This is guarded by the figure of St. Moritz. The source is said to have magical powers. Supposedly, she can predict the future. For this you have to throw a piece of wood into the water: When it floats, you can expect positive outlook. If it does go down, it looks rather bleak. It is also said to have healing powers for skin diseases and eye disorders. Only you should not drink the water.

    A serene historical chapel overhanging the chapel.
    The water was in popular belief special healing powers awarded.
