My hike took me to the chapels in Altshausen, Ragenreute, Heratskirch, and Boms.
I tried to tell a few things about the chapels along the way.
Also, on the paths to the chapels, I occasionally share some information without claiming completeness or accuracy.

Allow me, my name is WürttembergThis can happen in Altshausen! From the 15th century, the district commander of the Teutonic Order bailiwick of Swabia-Alsace-Burgundy resided in Altshausen. In the 18th century, the Teutonic Order had a large baroque palace built there. In the course of secularization and mediatization, the lordship of Altshausen fell to Bavaria after 1806 and then came not only to Württemberg in exchange, but also into the private possession of the royal family. The former Württemberg ruling family has lived in the castle since 1918. Duchess Diane has exhibited some of her works of art in the castle park, which is open to the public. The hike crosses the Aulendorf-Pfullendorf railroad line several times. Passenger traffic on this line was discontinued in 1971 and freight traffic in 2004. The line was reactivated for passenger transport in 2009, and the "Räuberbahn" currently runs three times a day between Pfullendorf and Aulendorf between May and mid-October at weekends and on public holidays, with stops in Altshausen, Hoßkirch-Königseggsee, Ostrach and Burgweiler.
