Above the chapel, or rather just before it, there are several caves that are connected to each other. At the end, above the chapel, there is a cross. To get to the caves, you have to climb a little bit.

From the parking lot, the path leads through the horse farm into the Aachtobel. First a few steps down and then always along the cliff edge.

The special thing about this place, the chapel is located directly in a rock niche on the steep slope of the gorge. Altar under a rock overhang small caves and rocks above. Benches for pilgrims and hikers a small confession booth next to it. This makes the place seem more like a natural sanctuary than a classic church.
