Discover your inner harmony
Cultural and Sacred Sites
The sacred sites are mostly historic buildings relating to Christianity such as churches, monasteries, chapels or wayside shrines. Christians have mainly re-developed sites previously used in religious ceremonies by much older cultures. Monasteries and churches, for example, have been built upon ruins dating back to Roman times. And so these monuments have been of major cultural and religious significance, continuously, throughout the centuries.
- Kalmoos Church near the Kalmberg
- Church at St Agatha and Stations of the Cross Chapels
- Kalvarienberg Chapel in Gosau

Their elders told them fascinating and gruesome stories about what is said to have happened at different sites throughout the region.
