Faith in the open air at the Kampenwand
On Sunday, July 19, 2026, the mountain service at the Steinling Chapel invites you to a special faith experience amidst the Chiemgau Alps. The celebration combines Christian spirituality, nature experience, and spiritual community in an open, dignified atmosphere.
A service with vastness and sound
The mountain service is organized by the Evangelical-Lutheran Deanery Rosenheim. Dean Dagmar Häfner-Becker, along with female and male pastors from the deanery, will celebrate together with the brass bands from the church district and the Hafenstoaner alphorn players. The musical accompaniment gives the liturgy a festive, nature-oriented character.
A special place for reflection
The Steinling Chapel is located at the Kampenwand above Aschau in Chiemgau and is for many visitors a place of tranquility, prayer, and spiritual retreat. The path there leads via the Kampenwand cable car and then along an easy mountain trail. Thus, the service also becomes a conscious small pilgrimage movement towards a place of encounter with God and creation.
Weather, clothing, and participation
In good weather, the celebration takes place in the open air. The deanery explicitly points out the need for weatherproof and warm clothing as well as sturdy footwear. In bad weather, the service will be moved to the Catholic parish church in Aschau at 11:15 AM. A final decision will be made weather-dependent on Sunday morning.
Community in nature
This mountain service appeals to people who want to experience faith not only in the church space but also in the vastness of the mountains. The combination of preaching, prayer, music, and landscape creates an impressive religious experience that brings together hospitality, tradition, and a sense of community.
Conclusion
Anyone making their way to the Kampenwand will experience a special evangelical mountain service with clear spiritual depth and impressive natural backdrop. The celebration invites you to pause, sing along, pray together, and experience the church in the green live.
