The Maria Loretto church is not far from the Rosenkogel at 1,850 meters. There are tables and benches outside where you can have a snack and relax. Inside there is a beautiful, richly decorated altar. You can light candles, but you have to put them out again, otherwise the church could burn down. Above the entrance there is a small balcony that can be reached by climbing a steep staircase.

A delightful chapel. You can see it from afar when coming from the Rosenkogel.
