Always be careful, even in summer on the shady passages in the forest the road can be wet and slippery.

A beautiful pilgrimage church. The new community center, with its redesigned village square and access to the church, and the exposure of the original murals, make it even more beautiful.

A pilgrimage church with centuries-old traditions. The church was completed in 1496, but has been continually supplemented with contemporary art, such as baroque paintings in the 17th century. The church was renovated in the 1980s and has been shining in bright colors ever since. If you are particularly interested, you can also book church tours through the municipality. Practical tip: There are very nice, public and barrier-free toilets in the community center in front of the church.
