St. Michael's Chapel was once located on the plateau of the Kleiner Gleichberg near Römhild. It was a pilgrimage chapel first mentioned around 1517. Its history dates back to the 8th/9th century. Its hall church was probably built in the 12th century, although only the foundations remain today. The mountain was already a fortified Celtic settlement (Steinsburg) in pre-Christian times, and the chapel was later built on the sacred site, which was partially destroyed by basalt mining.

Absolutely beautiful and adventurous sections with beautiful trails that are very rocky and with roots 😅 But just a super beautiful area with the best view 👌🖖
