Chapels circuit (Kapellenrundweg) Glojach

The hilltop on which the chapel stands is a very special place. If you take the time, you can feel how heaven and earth connect here and how this concentrated power radiates into the surroundings. There is also an exercise described on a board for those who are interested. The builders of the chapel probably also knew about the special nature of this place. They built a chapel here in 1831 instead of a small bell tower in order to protect the area from "thunderstorms" and diseases. The chapel received its present form in 1872. The copper portal and the large fresco were created in 1961 by Franz Weiß, who also provided the designs for the colorful stained glass windows from Schlierbach. There is a special altarpiece in the village chapel. The artist Franz Weiss immortalized citizens of the village in the painting. The red-white-red marking shows you the way.

After about 100 m we come to the fork of a small path that leads us over a few steps, through a courtyard, across a meadow, past a small vineyard on the left and straight on to the chapel on the hilltop. This place with its fantastic view is in any case already a first highlight of this hike!

On its driveway we come down to the road, which we follow to the right, and then hike gently downhill with magnificent views of the landscape on the ridge of the hill. At the junction with the cross road we go back at an acute angle and soon the picturesquely situated chapel appears again in front of us, towards which we are now heading straight. After a few bends we return to the starting point.
