Description

If you are well, you will feel deep peace in this very special place. If you are feeling worse beforehand, you will leave it comforted. Like those people who mourned the plague victims there in the 17th century. Since the dead were not allowed to be buried on the other side of the Ache, the small filial church of the Holy Trinity was specially built in 1661 - popularly also called Bichl Church or Pest Chapel - in the middle of the forest at Kropfbühel. When you close your eyes, you feel the great power emanating from the white and red chapel. A place of silence as a spiritual refueling station.Not only the cheerful atmosphere surprises but also the golden high altar with many figures, the magnificent side altar in the Rococo style, and the radiant white barrel vault. Choirs, Baroque, and pop musicians use the magical atmosphere in the clearing in front of the chapel for concerts.
