Tanzstattkapelle-Hoher Zinken
The hike to the Tanzstattkapelle and further to the Hohen Zinken is a wonderful tour including picturesque scenery and distant views. The Tanzstattkapelle is an extremely popular photo motif in summer as well as in winter and is worth a visit in any case. The ascent is comfortable, the descent as well.
The Tanzstattkapelle is dedicated to St. Anne and occupies a special place in the devotional and traditional life of the area. There is evidence that since the Middle Ages the people of Schönberg and Pusterwald have met here for summer festivities. However, the chapel was built only in the middle of the 18th century.
