A visit to the Ernst Fuchs church, or St. Jakob parish church, rounds off your trip. Designed by that well-known Austrian artist, the church glitters with crystal glass, iridesces in the colours of the rainbow and is packed with mystical symbols.

Whether summer or winter, Thalersee lake offers welcome opportunities for relaxation and happiness.
