Shortly after, you’ll reach the Pfösl chapel, set on an open meadow. Continue a bit further and take the second path on the left, which becomes the St. Helena trail. This gentle route through forests and fields leads directly to the St. Helena Church (approx. 1,400 m), beautifully located on a hill with stunning views.
Return along the same route to Deutschnofen.
