Gengenbach. St.Jacobus Chapel

Outside Obertor the different streets and trails begin that lead to the top of Bergle and the St Jacobus chapel. The climb up to the hilltop is a bit steep but not very long. It is worthwhile for the landscape views from the vineyards and the view of the town and valley from the top.The Chapel of St Jakobus (= James the Elder), also named Bergleskapelle, is one of Gengenbach's landmarks. The top of the hill with the wide view used to be an ancient Roman religious site already 2000 years ago. In the 13th century the first chapel was built. Through the centuries it has often been the starting point for pilgrimages. The present chapel dates from the year 1681. To hold services for large groups of pilgrims it has a stone pulpit on the outside wall. A separate, much smaller chapel hosts the Holy Sepulchre.
