Legend of the Hardt Chapel:
According to legend, it was built to commemorate the settlement of a dispute between farmers from Weilheim and Wielenbach. Each group felt that the area was theirs, not their neighbors. When the groups gathered on site for a discussion, a being appeared to them who spoke to the Wielenbach area and confirmed this with a footprint in a stone. In gratitude for the solution, the farmers built the chapel. Today, a circle of stones as a seat invites hikers to gather here - even if they have no dispute to settle
