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.
