thumb|left|upright|Altar at the summit At the summit is the pilgrimage chapel of Our Dear Lady (Unsere Liebe Frau), which was presumably built in the 8th or 9th century. The first record of the capella uf dem Hörnlin dates to the year 1469, in a prebendary occupancy book of the Diocese of Konstanz. According to legend, a blind man from the Alsace swore that if God gave him back his sight, he would build a chapel in honour of Mary on the first mountain that he saw.
