    The Maria Klobenstein pilgrimage church, also known as the Mariahilf Chapel, can be reached via Klobensteinstraße or on foot along the popular smugglers' path, which begins in Ettenhausen and crosses the Ache River via a suspension bridge (walking time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes).

    The chapel was built based on a legend in thanksgiving to the Mother of God. According to legend, an old farmer's wife escaped a landslide by praying to Mary, and a fatal stone split right in front of her. Even today, many cross the crack. If someone manages to do so without touching it, a wish is granted, which should remain unspoken and not material. Brides and grooms have particularly enjoyed this ritual, as it is believed to prolong their marriage until the end of their lives.

    Directly below the little church, healing water bubbles from a small fountain in a Lourdes chapel. The water is said to have special healing powers for eye diseases.

        The trip to the church and the inn is definitely recommended.
