Kollmitzberg
Mountain summit, Scenic lookout
Description
Kollmitzberg is located in the market town of Ardagger on the Moststraße and is considered one of the most beautiful vantage points far and wide - despite its manageable altitude of 469 m above sea level.
Pilgrims, hikers, cyclists and nature lovers can enjoy an almost unobstructed view in all directions - from the Schneeberg to the Traunstein and across the Danube region as far as the Bohemian massif. During the Mostviertel pear tree blossom in spring, a cycle trip on the Kollmitzberg cycle route is particularly recommended.
The pilgrimage church of St. Ottilie on Kollmitzberg, visible from afar, was first mentioned in 1260 and has been a popular pilgrimage site since the Middle Ages. The "Ottilienwasser", which springs not far from the church, has always been said to have healing properties.
The Kollmitzberg is known beyond the borders of the region, especially for its annual Kirtag. With around 300 exhibitors and 30,000 visitors, the Kollmitzberg Kirtag is one of the largest events of its kind in Austria.
