Places worth seeing

The large stone: the large stone from the Bronze Age can be found along the Grauner Weg, but unfortunately, it original place of origin is not known.  Therefore, its many engraved symbols are still a mystery today. 

The giant trees: A dozen of ‘mighty’ trees, up to 40 metres high, which were planted in 1908 at the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the crowning of the Austrian Emperor Franz-Josef, decorate the small high plateau of Fennhals. 

Farmhouse hiking trip: In and around the centre of Kurtatsch, you can undertake a circular hiking trip, which passes approximately 20 historic farmhouses and residences, built between the 13th and 17th Centuries.  (Road description and more information available in the Tourist Board office.) 

Rain stone: An interesting natural appearance in Entiklar is the legendary rain stone at the wine road, a rock face dripping of water with many tuff and sinter formations.  It is said, that a weeping princess is on the inside of this stone and she appears once every 100 years in order to be redeemed and to richly reward her saviour.

Old grape: In the Grafengasse in Margreid, a house grape, which was planted in 1601, covers the entire facade of the Feichter residence and still proudly produces 80 kg of grapes for harvest every year.

Saint Florian church: The mother church of Margreid and Kurtinig was probably built between the 9th and 10th Century A.D.  The architecturally interesting church is being renovated at the moment and will be open to the public in the near future. 

Haderburg: With a view of the Salurner Klause, this once proud fortress laid in ruins for nearly 400 years.  It has been renovated over the past few years.  The Haderburg can be visited from April to October and offers musical and literary highlights during the summer evenings.
