In an exposed position, directly above on the more than 600 meters high Pilgramsberg, stands the white St. Ursula church. Since the Middle Ages there is a small church up here, but only since the 17th century pilgrimages take place here. At that time, a mother went up here with her son, who was blinded by medical treatment. When they both prayed in the small church, the son suddenly saw again. The miracle spread quickly, and a few years later, the new church was built, which you can still admire today.

The pilgrimage church of St. Ursula on the 620 m high Pilgramsberg is an attraction for believers and hikers. It is a small building from the late 17th century in an exposed location with a wide panoramic view. The Marian pilgrimage has its origins in 1839. The walls covered with votive images and several late Gothic wooden figures decorate the pilgrimage church. An extensive interior renovation took place in 2016. The church is open during the day.

The Goldsteig goes down at the Kreuzweg, but there are two! The right one goes along the cemetery wall
