Hiking

The first chapel, which was first documented here in 1308, was already dedicated to St. George, which is why today's version is still called St. George's Chapel. It was destroyed in the Peasants' War, soon after it was a new building. 1668 was a third edition, the holy George but remained the patron saint. This version has been preserved until today.

Hiking

This chapel, surrounded by greenery, offers beautiful views. Worth seeing is the Way of the Cross, which leads from the south to Senftenberg. At the end of April a Georgiritt (pilgrimage on horseback) takes place to the chapel.
