Maria Wolschart, located east of the Carinthian federal highway in the middle of the once feared Wolschart forest, is a small pilgrimage church. The location, which today consists of two houses and the church, was first mentioned in documents in 1458 as "Woleschart". This name is probably derived from an old German word that means something like "wolf forest".
