The real hiking highlight to the Laurentius Chapel on the Schneekoppe / Riesenkoppe can be found at the following link => https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/3602488

Saint Lawrence, to whom the chapel on the Schneekoppe / Riesenkoppe is dedicated, is one of the early Christian martyrs from a time when Christianity was still forbidden. He was archdeacon of Pope Sixtus II and after his capture (August 258) was ordered by the pagan emperor Valerian to hand over the treasure of the church. Lawrence asked for three days, during which he distributed the church's assets among the poor inhabitants of Rome and, after the agreed time, came to the emperor with the poor to present them to him as the treasure of the church. He was then tortured to death. Legend has it that he was roasted alive on a grate - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Lawrence - over coals. He is said to have been in good spirits and asked his executioner if he would turn him over. The memorial day of Saint Lawrence in the calendar of saints is August 10th.

Oops! There must have been a mistake? The chapel of St. Laurentius on the Snow is incorrectly located here and is actually located over 1000m above sea level. higher on the summit Sněžka..

The cable car in the Czech Republic only runs from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. And often only to the middle station.

The Saint Lawrence Chapel is the oldest building at the summit of Sněžka. It was founded in the 17th century by Count Leopold von Schaffgotsch. Every year on August 10th, pilgrimages to the summit of Sněžka take place for the St. Lawrence Festival, with numerous clergy and pilgrims.
