Chapel at the Top of the Mountain
At the summit of Mount Stoderzinken, at an altitude of 1898 meters above sea level, there is a small, ancient chapel called Friedenskircherl (Peace Chapel). This place does not belong to any religion and is open for everyone to come and pray according to their faith. The chapel was built in 1902 and is considered an Austrian conservation site. To reach the chapel, you need to walk along a marked path from the mountain’s car park. The uphill walk takes about 25 minutes.
This is what the chapel and the magnificent view from it look like:
