Hiking

Maria Waldrast is one of the highest monasteries in Europe. It is located at 1,638 meters and is surrounded by a stunning mountain backdrop. You can stop off at the pilgrimage monastery or stay overnight.

Hiking

Where the picturesque pilgrimage church stands today, there was originally a small clearing in the forest. People who crossed the mountain passes from one valley to another used to rest here. The name Waldrast is derived from this very resting place.

Hiking

A lovely little playground for children and a nature-themed pub offer a variety of activities right next to the monastery. Those who can't walk that far can take the scenic train from the panoramic restaurant at the mountain station (fee applies).
