The chapel dates from the 15th century. It originally served to support pilgrims to St. Wolfgang. They made their pilgrimage to St. Wolfgang am Wolfgangsee. Today, the cemetery of the village Distelhausen is located at the chapel. The cemetery features a Way of the Cross by Friedrich Buscher.

Bad Mergentheim, with its beautiful old town and spa park, is always worth a visit.

One of Niederstetten's many landmarks. Be sure to walk the Tacheles Trail.

The Türmersturm (Turm Tower) is the city's most famous landmark and part of the former Electorate of Mainz Palace. It was built as a defensive tower in the 13th century and later expanded in the 15th century. With a height of approximately 35 meters and 119 steps up to the tower chamber, it once served the city guard to monitor the Tauber Valley and the surrounding area.

Tauberbischofsheim Castle, also known as the Electorate of Mainz Castle, dates back to the 13th century. Today, it houses the Tauber Franconian Landscape Museum and, with its striking tower, is a landmark of the town.

St. Wolfgang's Chapel dates back to the 15th century and was once a pilgrimage destination. It is idyllically situated west of the town, across the Tauber River, and is still the scene of the traditional Whitsun ride.
