A nice place to stay.

The last Reifenberger knight is buried in the St. Gertudis chapel, which is also called "Bassenheim grave chapel" by locals.

In this chapel, according to the legend, two Reifenbergers said all the prayers they knew on Christmas Eve, after they had unwittingly personally tugged with Satan and played cards instead of going to Christmas mass.

A beautiful little chapel in a great location, with a view of the Feldberg.
But the story of the chapel angel Elvira Bender really touched me!
THANK YOU for regularly opening the chapel and taking care of it, Ms. Bender!!!!!
