Tips from the Community

Whether the cross in question actually dates from 1642 cannot be verified. The inscription mentioned is missing today, and written sources are unavailable. In 1499, the "Rechgärtl" was already mentioned as a field name. Its location is curious, as it stands in a shallow, almost level hollow near the Kulmriegel. At that time, numerous finds confirm that a Roman road, the so-called Hochstraße, ran through here. Just a few hundred meters from the Rehgartl Cross, 21 Roman silver denarii were found.

The chapel was built by Carlo and Helene Carniel in 1899. An image of the Virgin Mary that was thought to be lost was the initial spark for building the chapel. The picture was found here on a tree while taking a walk.
