Hiking

The Breitenbrunner Klause and the associated Johanneskapelle were built by the hermit Franz Berner, who settled here in 1732. He lived here until his death on March 30, 1774 and, until he was 82 years old, looked after his hermitage with garden and the St. John's chapel, to which petition processions soon came from all over the area.
It is uncertain whether a successor moved to the Eisiedelei after his death.

In Breitenbrunn, Franz Berner is said to have built the hermitage and a Johanneskapelle in 1732 and looked after both until his death in 1774 at the age of 82. The chapel was soon visited by believers from all over the region.
