The chapel is located on the northern point of the plateau, the so-called Walberla (approx. 514 m), which is part of the Ehrenbürg massif (up to 532 m) in the Forchheim district.
The place is dedicated to Saint Walburga, a Benedictine abbess from the 8th century, who is considered a patron saint against plague, distress, and for farmers.
Traditionally, the Walberlafest takes place at the beginning of May (around May 1st), one of the oldest mountain festivals in Germany.
