Pilgrimage church
Through the beautiful hamlets of Weißkirchen i.d.OPf. you can make a wonderful pilgrimage to Maria Buchkirche, one of the oldest churches in Austria. The mighty high altar from 1651 is entwined with golden vine tendrils and is thus visually very appealing. A special feature is the late Gothic statue of Our Lady from 1480, enthroned under a striking canopy in the middle of the altar. The church offers space for masses, but also for religious concerts and consecrations - in 2017 it has already been the venue for these ceremonies 23 times!
Hike to the castle ruins
Another exciting castle in Weißkirchen is the Eppenstein Ruin. Thanks to the local castle association, this one from the 11th century is perfectly preserved and can easily be reached on foot. The intact castle offers a great view of the Mur valley below, so you can enjoy the beautiful landscape at the same time. You can reach the rock of the castle via an impressive bridge and immediately admire everything around you. The hike here is also suitable for children and promises to be an exciting experience. Take your children to the world of knights, kings and court jesters - the wildest stories are created here!
