At the beginning of the steps to Calvary, there is a life-size marble statue of St. Nepomuk on a high pedestal. As the patron saint of boatmen and raftsmen and also as a bridge saint, he was often "in use" during the time of salt shipping - after all, the Salzach was still known as a "wild river" at that time. The work in question by the Laufen sculptor Joseph Anton Pfaffinger from 1720 reflects the increased veneration of the water patron, who was canonized in 1729.
