Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

The square in front of the Amerung Chapel, where you have a beautiful view of the Altenau valley, is ideal for a break. The small baroque building, also known as the Annenkapelle, was built in 1669. The single-nave room has a plastered wooden barrel vault. The baroque high altar dates from 1674.
