November 21, 2022,Hochalm - Maria Schnee vom Kühberger


After relatively nice mountain weather was forecast for today, we made the quick decision to drive to the Kühberger farm and from there climbed up to the Maria Schnee pilgrimage chapel. I didn't know the tour from this side!

As always, a nice tour and if you're out early you're alone and it's wonderful to hear the deer roaring

Since we were traveling through the Murtal this week and saw that the snow reached quite far up, today we set off on the path to the Maria Schnee chapel, the highest pilgrimage chapel in Austria.

Finally some better weather, although the morning haze restricted the view upwards quite a bit, we still decided to brighten up the day with a nice hike to the Maria Schnee pilgrimage church.

At the parking lot (€ 2 as of May 2023) there were only a few cars to be seen and since the mountains were still covered …
