구텐바흐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산장 & 오두막집

The Martin Chapel marks a place steeped in history, which, interestingly, was only archaeologically investigated for the first time in the 1950s. Before that, in the 19th century, it was part of the Kolmenhof, where it was converted into a utility building (and significantly rebuilt). Conscious of its historical significance, remnants from this period were dismantled and the building was extensively restored.

... "Martinskapelle" near Furtwangen in the Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg. - can be reached via the "red diamond" marking or the "Westweg" - lies on an old pass road between the Breg and Elz springs, at the height of the Danube-Rhine watershed - https://www.furtwangen.de/startseite/Stadtinfo/geschichte+der+martinskapelle.html

The Martinskapelle is located on an old pass road between the Breg and Elz springs, at the height of the Danube-Rhine watershed. The origin of the chapel goes back to the pre-Carolinic period. Findings from excavations allow the assumption that a sacred building stood here as early as 800. Perhaps the road from Furtwangen to the top of the pass was already an old La Tène road and there were connections between Celtic and early Christian culture here.

A very beautiful plateau, with the dwarf tower and well-situated places to stop. From here the view goes over the Feldberg over to the Kandel, far behind the Simonswald valley of the Wildern Gutach, to the almost distant Vosges.

Very old kappele right next to the source of the Danube

Saint Martin, to whom the Furtwang Chapel is consecrated, is - next to Saint Nicholas - probably one of the most popular saints of all. The memorial day of the former officer in the Roman army is November 11th. On the night after the famous “coat sharing”, when he surrendered half his army cloak to a freezing beggar, Jesus Christ appears to him in a dream. He then converted to Christianity and was later - initially against his will - elected Bishop of Tours (France). Many should have fond childhood memories of lantern handicrafts in kindergarten and elementary school, the evening lantern parade through the dark village / district - and of course of the delicious “Weckmann”.

Great stop for a break with the option to fill the bottle. This is also where the Danube rises.

Definitely worth a detour. Very nice staff, a great and inexpensive menu and when everything is closed, there is still a fridge with drinks and a trustworthy checkout for every hiker. Up here you can have a wonderful rest, eat delicious food and enjoy a great view at the same time. Definitely visit.
