Take a short but steep hike to the Chapel that Werner von Trapp and other members of the family built after his return from WWII with the 10th Mountain Division. Werner had promised to build a chapel if he survived and upon his return he set to work and eventually dedicated the Chapel to Mary, Our Lady of Peace. You are welcome to go inside and ring the bell.
