Huettenberg Lingkor, Buddhist pilgrimage stairs in Hüttenberg, Austria.
The Lingkor pathway near Hüttenberg is a Buddhist pilgrimage site with stone stairs that climb through a forested area with meditation stations and prayer wheels positioned along the way. The route incorporates local crystals and traditional Himalayan architectural elements into its design.
This site was built as part of a Buddhist pilgrimage route, connecting this location to the spiritual traditions of Himalayan Buddhism. The construction follows design principles that have been used for centuries within this cultural context.
Prayer wheels placed along the steps hold printed mantras that visitors spin clockwise, following Tibetan Buddhist custom. This practice links visitors and local people to a spiritual act performed in the region for many years.
The stairs are best visited from May through October, with parking available near the Heinrich Harrer Museum entrance. Plan to explore the stations at your own pace without rushing.
An iron suspension bridge crosses the pathway, designed using traditional Bhutanese construction methods from the 14th century. This structure brings Far Eastern engineering directly into the Austrian Alpine landscape.
