Marienkapelle

St. Michael, Carinthia

The Marienkapelle (Marian Chapel) is located at an altitude of 1850 meters next to the Gamskogelhütte and can be easily reached on foot or by bike via the "Herzerl-Weg" (the name of the trail from the Katschberg Pass to the Marienkapelle or Gamskogelhütte). The walk takes approximately 45 minutes. There is also the option to be transported by horse-drawn carriage or by the Gamskogel-Shuttle-Service. The chapel has been ecumenically consecrated since September 10, 2005 (Roman Catholic and Protestant) and belongs to the Catholic parish of Rennweg/St. Peter as well as the Protestant parish of Eistentratten. The entire maintenance is carried out by the chapel's builders, Mrs. Olga and her husband Werner Hoffmann, and the Gamskogel-Wirt (innkeeper) is responsible for opening and closing. The Marienkapelle can also be visited in winter.
