Tamsweg, the charming district capital at 1,024 m above sea level, delights with an incomparable combination of natural beauty and cultural highlights.
Whether you want to explore the untouched nature of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, unwind while walking along idyllic hiking trails, or discover the most pristine mountain peaks and alpine meadows – Tamsweg offers you numerous opportunities to enjoy the summer to the full.
Highlights in Tamsweg
The St. Leonhard Church, a Romanesque Catholic pilgrimage church in Tamsweg, is an architectural gem with a fascinating history. The gabled church with its striking north tower and historic fortifications is enthroned high up above Tamsweg on the northern versant of the Schwarzenberg mountain.
A real eye-catcher is the famous "golden window", the golden yellow and blue panes of which bathe the church in a unique light. This artistic detail makes a visit to the listed pilgrimage church an unforgettable experience for culture and nature enthusiasts alike.
