Reiterleskapelle

The Reiterleskapelle chapel stands at an elevation of 640 meters between Rechbergle and Graneggle mountains in the Schwäbische Alb region.

The chapel's construction dates to 1714, as evidenced by an inscription on the doorway lintel, although an adjacent linden tree suggests earlier origins around 1600.

The chapel honors Saint Leonard, patron saint of farmers and horses, with a statue inside depicting him holding an abbot's staff and a book.

Visitors can reach the chapel by following marked hiking trails from Waldstetten, with a steep 4-kilometer ascent leading to the summit position.

The chapel sits at the intersection of multiple hiking routes, including the Jakobsweg pilgrimage path, where travelers can collect stamps to document their journey.
