The location of the chapel on the highest point of the San Silvestro Valley, has been identified as a prehistoric hillfort. Pre-christian sanctuaries were mostly build in such high located spots. It is therefore possible that also the San Silvestro Chapel was one of the pre-german shepherd’s sacred places with a sacrificial altar.

Approach

Through the Alta Pusteria/Hochpustertal Valley to Prato alla Drava/Winnebach by bus or car.
