Ede, Mountain hermitage in Sankt Jakob in Defereggen, Austria

The hermitage stands at an elevation of 1400 meters, offering views across the Defereggen Valley and surrounding mountain ranges in East Tyrol.

This religious retreat has provided solitude for spiritual contemplation since its construction in the 17th century within the Austrian Alps.

The hermitage maintains the tradition of housing individuals dedicated to religious meditation and serves as a meeting point for local pilgrims.

Visitors can reach the hermitage through a marked mountain trail that begins at the Sankt Jakob in Defereggen village center.

The structure follows traditional Alpine architecture with thick stone walls and a wooden roof designed to withstand harsh mountain weather conditions.
