Unterstein, Religious hermitage in Sankt Jakob in Defereggen, Austria.

The Unterstein hermitage stands at an elevation of 1395 meters in the Defereggental valley, next to the Steinerbach stream and the Defereggentalstrasse road.

The settlement at Unterstein originated from the Salzburg Jesach estate, which formed an enclave with other alpine dairy farms in the 17th century.

The hermitage represents the religious heritage of East Tyrol, situated in a region where mountain farming traditions meet spiritual practices.

The hermitage location near the Brunnalm ski resort provides winter sports opportunities with 34.8 kilometers of slopes and multiple ski lifts.

The Gasser family, including medical doctor Norbert Gasser who served as chief physician at Lienz District Hospital, originated from this hermitage.
