St. Leonhard

St. Leonhard is a romantic district of Grödig. Its patron saint is St. Leonhard, to whom the beautiful pilgrimage church owes its name.

The pilgrimage church in St. Leonhard

It is one of the most interesting architectural and cultural-historical landmarks in the vicinity of Salzburg: It combines various architectural styles in a surprisingly harmonious way. The nave is Romanesque, while the triumphal arch and choir were built in the Gothic style. The 63-meter-high tower dates back to 1644.

Advent season in St. Leonhard

Every year during Advent, St. Leonhard am Untersberg shines in a special light: at the well-known Advent market around the impressive church. Homemade delicacies and traditional handicrafts are offered in 16 stalls. Prior to the peaceful Advent season, the traditional Leonhardi Ride takes place on a Sunday around November 6th, the feast day of St. Leonhard.

The nostalgic church with its solemn atmosphere and the cozy inns in close proximity also make St. Leonhard a popular venue for unforgettable wedding celebrations.

The Untersberg Cable Car

In just 8 1/2 minutes, you can reach the summit for a fantastic view over Salzburg. The Untersberg Cable Car in St. Leonhard takes you to the famous Salzburg city mountain every half hour. The Untersberg Cable Car is a member of the SalzburgCard!

Glanegg und Eichet
