April 30, 2025, Theresienkapelle am Pfänder

A very beautiful, small wooden chapel below the Pfänderspitze. It was built in 1930.

South of the Pfänder summit is the Pfänder Dohle guesthouse, which enjoys a very quaint location.

Super nice hut to take a little break and strengthen yourself, eat and drink deliciously.

The inn has been open to visitors since 1911, making it older than the nearby cable car (which opened in 1927).

The chapel, built entirely of wood, was built in 1929-1930. The then owner of the Pfändealm, Anton Reichart, had made a building vow if his sick wife Anna and their 11th child, Johann Jakob, survived. Later, Theresia was born as the 12th child, named after this Theresienkapelle.

The Pfände towers high above Bregenz. Reachable by the Pfändebahn or on foot, it offers a brilliant view of the wide Lake Constance. At the top station of the cable car there is a wildlife park and several inns.
