Surrounded by very old lime trees, the Maria Bründl pilgrimage chapel is located at the edge of the forest. In 1677 a statue of the Virgin Mary was erected there, and in 1720 the chapel was added. The reason for the pilgrimage chapel was a cook who, according to tradition, regained his sight through the healing spring water, which is located under the altar. Thus, the chapel is especially visited by people with eye diseases.

The major pilgrimages take place on the Visitation of Mary (1st Sunday in July), the Assumption of Mary (August 15) and the Nativity of Mary (1st Sunday in September). The pilgrimage services are held in front of the chapel around the newly created altar. Seats have been created for 1000 pilgrims.

The chapel is cared for by the "Bründl women". They hold a devotion in the chapel every Sunday afternoon.

The pilgrimage chapel is freely accessible and can be visited at any time!
