For 500 years, people have been making a pilgrimage to the Holy Water in Hörleinsödt to wash their eyes because it means they help against eye ailments. A place of strength. Chapel built in 1250.

The first chapel is said to have been built around 1250 and the current one dates back to around 1470.
The legend says:
"Many years ago, when people walked from Haslach to Multerberg in Bohemia, they passed a certain place where they heard voices and heard singing (Trinity Song), but could not see anyone. As soon as they passed, voices and the Singing. Leitenmüller had a chapel built at this point. Since then, the mysterious voices have fallen silent."
The altar was dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The water (holy water) was said to have supernatural healing powers (eye problems).
