UMHAUSEN -> Mure parking lot -> towards Farst -> east turnoff -> chapel "Maria Schnee" -> hamlet Lehn-Platzl -> TUMPEN
From the Mure parking lot in the village center of Umhausen, walk gently downhill along meadows and fields towards Farst. Shortly before the foot of the Engelswand, follow the right turn to the east on the promenade straight ahead to the chapel "Maria Schnee." From there, through the hamlet Lehn-Platzl and past the legendary "Engelswand" to Tumpen. Maria Schnee is a baroque building with magnificent rococo furnishings. On August 5th, snow is said to have fallen there. The population interpreted this as a sign for a church construction. Generously renovated for the 200-year celebration, Maria Schnee is now a much-visited pilgrimage and popular wedding church.
