Absetz chapel or Osötz chapel

The Osötz Chapel is on the right hand side just before the slope on the Zirler Berg. The construction of this chapel can be traced back to cycling in Zirl. The wagoners of that time built this place of worship as thanks and help from God. At Osötz they always stopped, prayed and rested. The downhill riders clamped the brake shoes between the wheels, the uphill riders changed the horses. Each one lifted his hat and sent a short prayer to the "Lord in misery" to whom this Osötz was dedicated.
