Route description

The short Kapellenweg climbs from Völs’s old centre towards Saint Blaise Church. The path leaves the urban setting for the hillside; specific Stations of the Cross stand beside its upper approach. Pause for an exterior view of the small church and the changing town outlook. This variant repeats short approaches several times and ends on the church side, without returning to the exact departure. Add your own descent. The historic church remains a place of worship, so establish interior access and service times separately. The whole hill and complete Stations of the Cross are not automatically visited.

Nearby

The remaining Stations of the Cross and the exact Blasiusberg summit need independent approaches. Viewing artwork inside the church depends on current admission; the walk does not guarantee altar access or a service visit.

Best time to go
