Wonderful chapel located in the forest, for inner reflection, relaxation and unwinding. According to legend, the water that springs from there has a positive effect on eye diseases when you clean your eyes.

We were looking forward to the stop, but unfortunately at 1:30 p.m. in the most beautiful weather, we were left without a greeting when we asked for food with a “already ready”. So there was nothing at all, no coffee or cake, too bad.

Unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy the view for long. A thunderstorm came up and I had to go back quickly. Unfortunately it was already too late and I got wet through and through.
