Church at Kumitzberg

The Gnadenkirche Maria Kumitz is located in the district of Obersdorf/Knoppen on a prominent, protruding rock, embedded in the tranquility and originality of a dense forest. Situated high above the surrounding landscape, this special place has been a destination for centuries for those seeking peace, strength, and spiritual reflection.

Even in pre-Christian times, the freely rising hill in the landscape attracted people. After the Christianization, Kumitz remained an important place of contemplation and faith, to which numerous pilgrims made their way.

Those who feel connected to the Catholic faith can take the path along the stations of the cross to the Gnadenkirche, finding peace step by step. However, Kumitz invites people of all spiritual paths to discover this special power place in their own way, whether through silence, connection to nature, or personal reflection.

Even the name Kumitz tells of the long history of this place: it comes from the Slavic language and simply means “hill.” To this day, this special spot combines the beauty of nature with a deeply rooted spiritual tradition and invites visitors to gain distance from everyday life and draw new strength.
