The chapel on the Schusterberg, built around 1800, was extended and furnished in 1921. It is dedicated to the fallen and missing Friedenfels men of the two world wars. Granite columns with bronze images of the Stations of the Cross accompany the climb to the war memorial chapel.

Gem above Friedenfels. Best coming from the outdoor pool. Every year in winter a torchlight hike takes place here
