"Obertraun Mountain Moments 2026" Religious worship on the Krippenstein
Autumn – timeless
Attending a mountain mass on the Krippenstein on Austria's national holiday, October 26, offers a unique combination of spiritual experience and breathtaking nature. The fair is often celebrated in an exceptional setting, such as the Dachstein Ice Cave, which creates an unforgettable experience. In addition, the Krippenstein is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers, so that the visit can be combined with other activities in the mountains.
The service takes place in an extraordinary setting, often in a cave or at a viewpoint, which creates a special spiritual atmosphere.
There is a lot to see
And if you still feel like hiking after the service, then immerse yourself in the breathtaking mountain world at the foot of the Dachstein. But there are also numerous sights waiting for you, such as the unique Dachstein shark or the spectacular 5Fingers viewing platform.For those who prefer culinary delights after the service, we recommend a stop at the mountain restaurant or the rustic lodge on the Krippenstein. Unique enjoyment at the highest level! The Krippenstein is easily accessible with the Dachstein-Krippenstein cable car, which makes it easier to get there.
