December 30, 2025, Chapel of Höchstädt

A popular photo subject. Social media is full of pictures of the chapel. And for good reason! The chapel was intentionally built in a ruin-like style, which gives it its enchanting appearance. Its exposed location allows for the use of natural light. The Mittelweg trail and a regional circular hiking trail pass by here.

Every year at Pentecost, Thus is a festival. The weir is opened and the waterfall flows. A little further on, you'll find the overflow, which creates another waterfall, for example, when the snow melts. The stream was artificially created to supply the Thusmühle (mill) with water.
