The Wallfahrtskirche Filzmooser Kindl is a Gothic pilgrimage church from 1479 in the ski and hiking village of Filzmoos, Pongau. The focal object is an unusual 15th-century carved wooden Christ child figure rather than a Madonna, which distinguishes it from most alpine pilgrimage churches. Filzmoos is about 70km south of Salzburg; free entry. Combine with hiking in the nearby Gosaukamm limestone peaks.
