Waldkapelle Maria bei der Eiche Aalen

Waldkapelle Maria bei der Eiche stands in the Scheiterhau forest, two kilometers southwest of Ebnat, surrounded by dense woodland at coordinates 48.794389, 10.164611.

The chapel's origins trace back to 1692 when shepherd children established a devotional site at an oak tree, followed by the placement of the Maria bei der Eich grace image.

The annual Festival of Ebnat Joy commemorates the 1745 transfer of the original grace image to the parish church through a ceremonial procession.

The location of the chapel, accessible through forest paths, allows visitors to combine religious devotion with nature walks in the Baden-Württemberg region.

The current structure, built in 1925, houses a new grace image installed in 1979, maintaining the centuries-old spiritual connection to the original oak tree site.
