Salvenkirchlein

La iglesia de peregrinación más alta de Austria

En lo alto de la cima del Hohe Salve, a 1.829 metros de altitud, se encuentra la Salvenkirchlein, uno de los lugares de peregrinación más impresionantes del Tirol y también la iglesia de peregrinación más alta de Austria. Está dedicada a San Juan Bautista y lleva siglos atrayendo a peregrinos y visitantes.

Destaca el altar mayor de estilo barroco temprano, de 1666, con un cuadro del bautismo de Jesús y las estatuas de San Juan Bautista y San Bartolomé. La Salvenkirchlein no es sólo un lugar de espiritualidad, sino también un popular destino de excursiones. Se puede llegar a él por rutas de senderismo y en tren de montaña desde Hopfgarten y Söll. Por supuesto, en verano también se puede llegar a la iglesia de peregrinación a pie en una maravillosa excursión.

Una visita a la Salvenkirchlein no sólo ofrece una visión de la rica historia del Tirol, sino también una impresionante vista panorámica de los Alpes circundantes.

Historia

La capilla se menciona por primera vez en un documento de 1589. Según la tradición, el agricultor Andreas Schwender de Brixen im Thale mandó construir la pequeña iglesia como agradecimiento por su recuperación. Ya en 1617 se celebró aquí la primera santa misa. Debido al creciente número de peregrinos, la capilla se amplió en 1625. Tras el devastador impacto de un rayo en 1640, se reconstruyó hasta 1643. El edificio actual data de 1641 y en 1972 se le añadió un pórtico de madera.

St. Anna's day at the Hohe Salve
On July 27, 2025, the Hohe Salve invites you to the traditional Holy Anna Summit Mass – a special event deeply rooted in Tyrolean faith and festive culture. The mass takes place at the summit of the Hohe Salve, where, amidst an impressive 360° panorama, we celebrate and pause together. The mountain mass is musically accompanied by the Brixner brass group. Afterward, the summit lodge Hohe Salve invites you to a cozy morning gathering, where traditional sounds, Tyrolean specialties, and sociable togetherness take center stage. The feast day of St. Anne is celebrated in Christian tradition as a memorial day for Saint Anne, the mother of Mary and grandmother of Jesus. As the patron saint of mothers and families, she is highly revered in many regions of Tyrol. Pilgrimages and masses in her honor have a long tradition, especially in the Alpine countries. Such celebrations not only provide space for religious devotion but also strengthen the sense of community – a moment to pause in often hectic everyday life. The summit mass on the Hohe Salve is a unique experience for all who wish to consciously enjoy the moment in nature and celebrate together. Pilgrimages – like this one for the feast day – have been expressions of gratitude, hope, or inner reflection for centuries. They create a connection between people, landscapes, and lived tradition. The feast day on the Hohe Salve combines all of this – in an atmosphere that moves you and remains memorable for a long time.
