For the 75th time, people from Chiemgau gather to remember the fallen and missing and to transform the shared remembrance into a dignified experience of faith.
A Service in the Open Air
The mountain mass takes place at the chapel next to the Steinlingalm, beneath the distinctive peak area of Kampenwand. The natural backdrop, the altitude, and the open space give the liturgy a striking tranquillity. The event is traditionally supported by veterans' and warrior associations from the region as well as a community from Chiemgau.
Tradition, Prayer, and Connection
The mountain service is one of the deeply rooted forms of faith and remembrance in the region. It creates space for prayer, gratitude, and remembrance of the victims of war and violence. Especially the collective singing, listening to the word, and the presence of the community make this celebration a religious experience with deep symbolic power.
Travel and Conditions
Steinlingalm is accessible via the Kampenwand cable car; from the mountain station, a footpath leads to the chapel.
