    Tips

    A church was mentioned here as early as 1503 - in the Viennese Alps at the site of Kaltenegg, not far from Lichtenegg. In 1631, documents show a branch church dedicated to Radegundis and Oswald. In the centuries that followed, the church was both destroyed and renovated. When her family was spared the great stock market crash of 1872, a certain Antonia Winter had a church with two towers and a vicarage built out of gratitude. This made it possible to build a new building in the tradition of baroque pilgrimage churches. The patronage was taken over by the parish of Lichtenegg. Today, the sacred building in the Wilhelminian style - an architectural mix of classic and baroque - is a popular place of pilgrimage. Countless pilgrims come every year to the panoramic church at 850 m above sea level. Rax and Schneeberg form the picturesque backdrop.

      Wonderful area and a very well marked hiking trail leads you past the beautiful Maria Schnee church. You have a beautiful view of the not so far distant mountains the whole day.
