Tips from the Community
The Chorndlette Chapel, south of Frick, stands on a hill at the edge of the lush green Chornberg Forest. A beehive was converted into a chapel, and today it provides many hikers, bikers, and pilgrims with a place of rest and reflection. It's well-maintained, with plenty of seating around it, and a beautiful view over the village and all the way to the Black Forest.

The rest area has been recently renovated. Still too close to the village for my taste. The view is still nice.
