Zumpanell St. Wendelin church - Description

The former Zumpanell mine for the extraction of magnesite is located in a spectacular position. Here, at 2,360 m, it is worthwhile visiting the open-cast mine with its abandoned relics and display boards. The small chapel of St. Wendelin is dedicated to the patron saint of shepherds and country people, farmers, day labourers and farm workers. The view is wide and spectacular.
