Cultural traditions

• The blind widow Maria Euphrosina Knoblachin b. Von Höfl from Salzburg donated a large fortune in 1746 for a so-called “40-hour prayer” to be held annually in the pilgrimage church for “eternity”. When the foundation's sum had decreased due to various economic crises, the three-day prayer was shortened to one day, namely the first Sunday after Annentag on July 26th.
