Chiesa di San Giacomo (St.-Jakobs-Kirche)
Chiesa di San Giacomo, also known as St.-Jakobs-Kirche, is a small historic chapel perched above Ortisei in Italy’s Val Gardena. Surrounded by forest and meadows, it offers breathtaking views of the Dolomites, making it a favorite spot for photographers seeking quiet alpine scenery. The chapel’s pointed steeple and whitewashed walls contrast beautifully with the dramatic peaks in the background, especially in soft morning or evening light. Accessible only on foot or by bike via a scenic forest trail, the journey adds to the experience and offers additional photo opportunities along the way. (Ortisei, South Tyrol, Italy)
