Beautiful Romanesque chapel in a park near the hospital. Listed as a historic monument and protected by UNESCO. Open with a bit of luck. When open, very helpful and informative members of the Landeck Castle Foundation, which has assumed sponsorship of the chapel since 2023, are present.

This beautiful, small shelter (with table) of the PWV Gleiszellen-Gleishorbach used to be a few meters further up. After major pipeline excavation work, the traces of which can still be seen everywhere here, it was moved about 50 - 100 m. (As of Nov. 2024) This shelter is not to be confused with the large bar hut of the PWV Klingenmünster (big festival on May Day!), which is located very close by a little further down.
