Churches of Saints Helena and Magdalena

Description:

Rising east of the village, Mount Magdalensberg (1059 m) is crowned by the late Gothic complex of the Church of Saints Helena and Magdalena. This is the starting point of the annual Wirbergerlauf pilgrimage, beginning on the night of the first full moon after Easter. Up to five thousand people each year attend midnight mass on Magdalensberg, after which a torchlight procession begins on the surrounding mountains of Ulrichsberg, Fatesberg and Lorenziberg.
