The tower is nicknamed "Mehlsack" (flour sack) because of its white paint. From the top, there's a fantastic view 👀 of Lake Constance, the Salem Valley, and the Linzgau region, and on a clear day, you can even see the Alps. There's also a free panoramic telescope that displays the names of the visible mountains.

From the parking lot, the path leads through the horse farm into the Aachtobel. First a few steps down and then always along the cliff edge.

The special thing about this place, the chapel is located directly in a rock niche on the steep slope of the gorge. Altar under a rock overhang small caves and rocks above. Benches for pilgrims and hikers a small confession booth next to it. This makes the place seem more like a natural sanctuary than a classic church.
