Maria Waitschach

Maria Waitschach comprises a church building with an adjacent ossuary, situated on a hilltop overlooking the Carinthian countryside at coordinates 46.9333, 14.5319.

The parish church complex, which includes both religious structures and a cemetery, has functioned as a central place of worship for local communities across multiple centuries.

The church maintains regular religious services while the ossuary houses a collection of historical human remains according to regional burial traditions.

Visitors can reach the church through two marked hiking trails from Guttaring, with the shorter route extending 12.4 kilometers and gaining 430 meters in elevation.

The site combines three distinct religious functions: an active parish church, a historical bone house, and a cemetery, all protected under Austrian monument preservation laws.
