The Pfefferbüchsel is a former chapel on the calendar mountain that was built in the 19th century by the Prince of Liechtenstein. It had an unusual roof shape that was reminiscent of a spice jar, and was therefore popularly called the pepper box. The chapel was destroyed in the revolutionary year of 1848 and was not rebuilt. The remains were renovated in 2018 and are now an interesting testimony to the history and culture of the Calendar Mountain. The Calendar Mountain is a popular excursion and hiking spot in the Vienna Woods, which offers many historical and natural sights, such as Liechtenstein Castle, the amphitheater, the Black Tower and the Eye Glasses. The mountain also has archaeological significance as it has finds from the Neolithic and Bronze Age, referred to as the Calendar Mountain culture. The mountain is part of the Föhrenberge Nature Park and offers a diverse range of flora and fauna.
