Overview
Summer
There are over 200 locations throughout the Salzkammergut where it is said you will unlock the secrets to personal well-being and inner harmony.
Cultural and Sacred Sites
The sacred sites are mostly historic buildings relating to Christianity such as churches, monasteries, chapels or wayside shrines. Christians have mainly re-developed sites previously used in religious ceremonies by much older cultures. Monasteries and churches, for example, have been built upon ruins dating back to Roman times. And so these monuments have been of major cultural and religious significance, continuously, throughout the centuries.
