The covered pilgrimage staircase leads over countless steps from the Inn town directly to the “Maria Hilf” monastery. But the view at the top and the picture panels along the way are worth all the effort. Numerous votive tablets testify to the gratitude of many people over the centuries. “Maria helped.” Be sure to take a look at the historical picture panels inside the monastery church!
