    Small pilgrimage shrine above the roaring Trettach Gorge, which rushes through the narrow passage approx. 70m below. Very narrow and partly damp path with slippery stones in this section of the path.

      The pilgrimage station is part of the pilgrimage to Oberstdorf von Holzgau.

      The high alpine pilgrimage has a special history. Due to a bad period of drought in 1663, a group of Lechtalers went on a pilgrimage to St. Maria Loretto in Oberstdorf. According to tradition, the long-awaited rain at the arrival of pilgrims in Oberstdorf at today's Viehscheidplatz already used. The pilgrimage to Loretto became in the following years a solid pilgrimage high above the mountains of Holzgau.

      Here it is either on the ascent to or on the descent of the Kemptner nice rest.

        The chapel, newly erected in 1998 on a small ledge at the "knee" of the Sperrbach, to commemorate the pilgrimages from the Lech Valley to Oberstdorf gives an opportunity to take a break and reflect.
