Maria Waldrast
...
Maria Waldrast (means "Maria Rest-in-the-Forest" in English) is one of the highest Convents in Europe - 1641m (5383 Ft.) Altitude. It is located in Tirol, Austria, near Matrei am Brenner. The Foundation of the Convent is based upon a Story, that says, that in the Year 1407 two Herdsmen found an Effigy of the Virgin Mother in a Tree Trunk.
It is a very popular Place of Pilgrim here in Tirol - located very solitary in the Middle of the Mountains. There is a Spring with right-turning Spa-Water - right turning Water is very seldom and really amazing to drink. You can't compare it with any other Water in the World. It's a Healing Water too, and many People come up here to fill the Water and take it home - it is drinkable for a long Time. I did the same today and also made a Prayer for my Family and some Friends.
A very calmful and contemplative Place up there.
