One of the starting points would be the drive over the small town of Zell past the castle museum and into the castle path, there you can leave the car then and start the hike.

The two castles at the shores of beautiful Lake Alpsee and at the foot of the Säulings are, in addition to our beautiful nature, one of the most famous attractions for visitors from all over the world. If you plan a visit to the castles, we recommend a prior ticket reservation, which you can make here können.

PILGRAMAGE CHURCH OF MARIA HILF

The church is a well-known and popular destination in the region. Originally there was only one chapel on the site, the Gnadenkapelle. This was built in the years after the great plague 1635/36. She soon proved to be too small, because she received a large influx of faithful seekers. Between 1635 and 1657 156 miracles were recorded. Thus, from 1644, a church was built next to it and completed in 1647. But already in 1660 they started with a new building, which was inaugurated in 1676. Finishing works and renovations took place constantly, for the last time in the years 1995/96.
