Wallfahrtskirche "Maria Brettfall"

Pilgrimage church dedicated to the Holy Virgin Mary. The small church is situated on a rock high above the entrance to the Ziller Valley. The name "Brettfall" could have originated either from the Latin "super vallem" (above the valley) or from the Latin words "prae vallum" (in front of the rampart). Both interpretations date back to Roman times. The Lourdes Grotto, which has been embedded in the rocks behind the church for many years, was renovated by the Schützen (riflemen) in 1980. More details on the history, art, legends, and stories about the hermits at Maria Brettfall can be found in the guide "Wallfahrtskirche Maria Brettfall". Holy Mass is held once a month on a Sunday at 3:00 PM (according to the church service schedule of Strass i.Z.). On the other Sundays, a rosary or a devotion takes place at 3:00 PM.
