Gastronomy Natur Resort Waldrast

Maria Waldrast has been a popular place of pilgrimage for pilgrims from all over the world for centuries. The people of Matrei in particular venerate Waldrast very much. The monastery of the Servites with the church is situated at 1,638 m and is one of the highest monasteries in Europe. In 1409, there was a building permit for a pilgrimage church, which, according to legend, was to be erected at the place of Mary's apparition in a clearing in the forest. The terracotta reliefs of the 14 Stations of the Cross on the old pilgrims' path were created by H. Buchgschwender. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
