グリューンゼー-ヴェルデ湖のおすすめツーリングルート

This tour from Plaus to Hintermartell/Talschluss is simply sensational

The small pilgrimage church of Our Lady in the Woods stands on the Schmelz, in the heart of the wooded Martell Valley, where a mine has been documented since 1448. This charming miners' chapel was founded in 1711 by the Hendl family of counts from Kastelbell, sold in the famine year of 1816, expanded with a tower in 1856, and remodeled in the neo-Gothic style in 1894. Until after the Second World War, the people of Martell marched in procession from the parish church in the village to the chapel on the Schmelz for the church consecration festival. The patron saint's day is celebrated on the first Sunday in July, the Feast of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary (July 2), with a field mass and sermon from the boulder next to the church.

Beautiful slightly ascending path

Actually a beautiful lake, but empty today

Here the battery has given up the ghost

Very nice path
