Pieta cottage below the Madenburg

Not far from the hiking car park below the Madenburg is the forest chapel.

The Pietà cottage is a plaster building with a gable roof rolled off on one side from 1828.

The Pietà, the depiction of Mary as Mater Dolorosa, is a copy of the miraculous image from 1450.
The forest chapel is one of the cultural monuments of the village.
