    Hiking

    In the early 1700s, the plague epidemic hit Kőszeg and its surroundings. The people of Kőszeg made a vow to build a church, asking for help from the heavens. This is how it happened that between 1729 and 1734, despite many difficulties, the Calvary Church was built.
    Today, it is an excellent hiking destination with a great panorama. The building can usually only be admired from the outside.
    There are 14 stations on the pedestrian path leading to the church, which were designed by the Viennese architect Ludwig Schöne in 1890.

    Hiking

    Strenuous climb, but worth it. The church is currently being renovated. As of 2022.
