Mount of Olives Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Halfway between Embach and Maria Elend lies the "Kalvarienberg". This refers to a depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus on a rock located outside the village. The path from the parish church is about the same length as the Stations of the Cross in Jerusalem from the house of Pilate to "Calvary", the rock of Golgotha in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Jesus' cross stood. Those who pray the Stations of the Cross here are, so to speak, walking the same Stations of the Cross as the pilgrims in Jerusalem. The Embacher Kalvarienberg was donated by Anton Graf, innkeeper in Embach, in 1774. The traditional tin figures of the crucifixion group were repainted in 2008 by Friedrich Jünger. The Kalvarienberg chapel, built in 1829, contains a folk depiction of Christ at the Pillar and an explanation of the chapel from the time of its construction.

Maria Elend Pilgrimage Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Wonderful chapel with a fabled, heartbreaking legend about a mother and her blind daughter. The clockwise rotating source is said to have a healing effect.

Kapelleralm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Kapelleralm near Embach is embedded in the beautiful mountain landscape of the Hohe Tauern. The rustic Alm at 1,510 meters is a popular stop for hikers and mountain bikers. The hearty Brettljause is best enjoyed with fresh buttermilk.

A nice circular hike with an excellent hut. Very good products on a wooden board and you can still feel that certain hut flair. Ideal in hot weather as you walk through the forest a lot. You can also ride your bike along a forest road.
