    At 791 meters above sea level, the Wachbühl is the highest point in the Upper Swabian municipality of Bad Wurzach. Not far from the viewpoint, five paths cross, and close to the intersection is a small wooden chapel. Hikers and cyclists can find shelter here when it rains and a shady place to rest when it's hot. The chapel is dedicated to the two "wandering monks" Columban and Gallus, who are venerated as Allgäu saints along with Saint Magnus.

    The Saint Columban and Gallus Chapel on the Wachbühl was inaugurated on May 13, 2013. The occasion was the 25th anniversary of the town twinning between Bad Wurzach and Luxeuil-les-Bains, the place where Columban worked before he came to Lake Constance with Gallus and other companions.
