The annual mountain mass at the Graukogel is this year marked by the first mention of Gastein in a document from the year 1020 as a parish in the "Gastein".

To commemorate this historic event, a pilgrimage will take place in 2020 in addition to the mountain fair.

The special thing: On the pilgrimage from the Preimskirche in Bad Gastein to the "Herrgottzirbe" on the Graukogel, one covers a difference in altitude of exactly 1000 metres.

The Holy Mass is musically framed by the "Schachen Chor". Afterwards you meet for a social gathering at the Graukogelhütte. Entertainment is provided by the Bürgermusik Bad Gastein.
