The chapel was once a major pilgrimage, destination despite of the fact that tradition of pilgrimages in Slovakia disappeared long ago, it is still the favorite place of prayer and rest. Near the chapel is also a wellspring of St.John of Nepomuk, small forest spring that will delight every visitor.
