The Georgenberg has been settled since the Neolithic Age. On the mountain is the late Gothic branch church of St. George, in the place of which there was already an early Christian church.

Saint Severin (5th century) is said to have performed two miracles here during his visit to Kuchl, the candle miracle and the locust miracle, which you can read in the biography of Eugippius.

In the 17th century, an outside pulpit was added to enable the proclamation to be made to a large number of pilgrims.

The Georgenberg in Kuchl is an impressive natural monument and a striking inselberg in the Salzach Valley, rising prominently from the surrounding landscape. Geologically, it consists of ancient conglomerate rock and was formed around 400,000 years ago by the melting of the Salzach Glacier. Its sheltered location made it a settlement as early as the Neolithic period – traces of Celtic, Roman, and Bavarian cultures have been preserved to this day, as has the Church of St. George, built on the foundations of an early Christian chapel.

Today, the Georgenberg is easily accessible via paths and a small road and offers beautiful views as well as stops of natural and historical interest. It has been a nature reserve since 1960 and is also home to a colony of the rare Northern Bald Ibis. Cyclists traveling along the Salzach Cycle Path can include the Georgenberg as a worthwhile detour into their tour – whether for a rest or a cultural stopover.
