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.

With a restaurant and terrace, it's a lovely place to linger. Be sure to fill up your bottles with "healing water" at the fountain.

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).

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.

There is holy water here, but I think that the Alpine water is pretty good anyway 😉 From here, make sure to take a short walk to the Ochsenalm
