Tourist Attractions

  • 1 Erentrudiskapelle The steep path to this landmark of the Tuniberg is arduous, but it is worth every effort, because from here you have a wonderful view over the Rhine plain to the peaks of the Black Forest and the Vosges. Once a field chapel and since around 1000 pilgrimage site of St. Erentrudis, abbess and patron saint of Salzburg. Already abandoned to decay after being damaged in various wars, it was restored by 14 men from nearby Munzingen and inaugurated again in 1879. The light-flooded small interior is covered by a faceted ceiling and contains the figure of the patroness who holds a model of the chapel in her hand.
