Nice little chapel with a great view of Lake Sempach. Great starting point for walks and hikes. Nice place with seating to chill, read and enjoy the sun. There are some free parking spaces right next to the church.

The bike path to the Sempachersee is very nice, sometimes a bit narrow, so drive at a slower pace.
