Hiking
The Glattjoch Chapel is the highest sacred building in Styria (1,988 meters) and was built in honor of St. Virgil. The dry stone structure, which is unique in Central Europe, is over a thousand years old. The chapel has been scientifically examined in recent years and completely restored. An old shelter hut was uncovered just below the chapel. Various small finds in the form of ceramic shards, nails and horseshoes were discovered along the way. Meanwhile, a mountain mass takes place at the chapel every year in June.
