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.

June 15, 2023,Kitzlochklamm bis zur Wallfahrtskapelle Maria Elend
The Kitzlochklamm is about 1500 meters long and is protected as a natural monument. The Rauriser Ache first flows through the narrowest point of the gorge at the actual Kitzloch, then the gorge widens and after another narrow point the valley opens in the direction of Taxenbach and flows into the Salzach.
