The origins of the St. Wendelin Chapel date back to the 6th or 7th century. The field chapel is dedicated to St. Wendelin, the patron saint of animals. However, it was blown up for strategic reasons during the Second World War and was not rebuilt until 1984. The chapel is located on the "Lange Ahnung" hill between the villages of Trulben and Hochstellerhof. As early as the 6th and 7th centuries, a chapel stood on the current site of the St. Wendelin Chapel. This chapel was the predecessor to the chapel completed in 1806. However, by the beginning of the 20th century, the chapel was already showing significant structural damage. As a result, the dilapidated chancel was demolished. On May 12, 1912, a hailstorm caused extensive damage to the chapel, which was repaired a year later. In 1936, the chapel was expanded on the east side with a turret and bell. The renovated chapel was then blown up by the German Wehrmacht for strategic reasons in 1939. Efforts to rebuild the church after the Second World War (1939-1945) failed repeatedly. It wasn't until 1979 that the chapel association decided to make reconstruction its primary focus. Construction of the new building began on April 14, 1984, and the chapel was consecrated by Bishop Anton Schlembach of Speyer on August 25, 1985.

Nice view

On the French-German border, in the middle of the forest, this dirt road with red hues creates a superb contrast with the green of the trees. A soothing spectacle during your bike rides.

great for camping

Interesting information boards about smuggling at that time. Definitely worth reading.
