Culture and sights

    Parish Church of Guttaring: The Romanesque-Gothic parish church of St. Rupert with a Baroque high altar, which was first mentioned in documents as early as 1160, is significant in terms of cultural history.
    Parish church Dobritsch: on the Guttaringberg on the border to the municipality of Friesach.
    Filialkirche Deinsberg: In the former parish and today's filial church, valuable wall frescoes from the middle of the 14th century were discovered and uncovered in the course of a restoration in 1968 and 1969.
    Carner: To the north of the church is a Romanesque round building with an oriel-shaped eastern apse.
    Maria Hilf ob Guttaring: The late Baroque pilgrimage church Maria Hilf is clearly visible above the village.
    Maria Waitschach: This late Gothic pilgrimage church is located further away and is a former branch church of Guttaring and also a popular hiking destination.
    The ruins of a 16th century rafting furnace with neighboring rest stop - the former so-called Verweserhaus - in the Urtl bear witness to historical iron mining.
    A special feature of the village is the "Field of the Stone Lentils" between Guttaring and St. Gertraud, where one can easily find fossils, so-called nummulites, reminiscent of lentils in shape and size.
    Guttaring has a number of well-maintained hiking trails, accurately documented by GPS data, through which one can reach the various churches.
    Founded in 1872, the Guttaring Men's Choral Society is one of the oldest choral societies in Carinthia.
