Virgen

The landscape around Gemeinde Virgen is a high Alpine valley of hay meadows and conifer forest beneath the Venediger Group, a setting that has shaped both its scattered hamlets and its farming-and-tourism economy. In East Tyrol’s Virgental, the municipality lies in the Hohe Tauern National Park region, where the Virgenbach descends toward the Isel valley. Mountain paths and alpine pastures connect the main settlement with smaller communities, while the surrounding peaks place Virgen close to demanding high-mountain terrain. In Obermauern, the pilgrimage church of Maria Schnee is known for its late-Gothic wall paintings, adding a significant cultural stop to this rural Alpine setting.
