Ailingen was built in 1892. In 1921,
the chapel was carefully dismantled in
the Reinachmühle and rebuilt on the

479 m, is a popular place for excursions.
In clear weather, there is a fabulous view
over the lake on the Alps. This panoramic
view is quite possibly one of the most
beautiful in the whole city area.
From the Stadtbahnhof (central station), you can reach Ailingen by taking bus
lines 13 to 15. The beautiful scenic path leads to the Haldenberg chapel. p. 34
