Torch-lit hike to the Maria Bühel Pilgrimage Church
From Stille-Nacht-Platz (Silent Night Square) along the Salzach River downstream to the newly renovated statue of St. John Nepomuk, the patron saint of bridges. From there, a initially two-armed stairway, which leads into a total ascent of 139 steps, takes you to a crucifixion group. The path then continues several hundred meters across fields to the baroque pilgrimage church of Maria Bühel. The twin-towered pilgrimage church of Maria Bühel stands high above the Salzach River near Oberndorf.
