The St. Ottilien Chapel, with its cruciform floor plan, is one of the most extraordinary Baroque church buildings in Switzerland. In 1572, a brotherhood was founded for its maintenance. Excavations uncovered foundations from the Middle Ages. In 1669, Hans Thüring Feer had a new building erected by Jost Melchior Zur Gilgen. Further information at: Wikipedia.org. The above data also originates from there. HZ.

This route is much nicer than the most commonly recommended one along the main road. Especially in summer, as it's pleasantly cool cycling through the light forest.
