Around the Gurschlhof
Sights, sports and leisure in the Vinschgau region
Our small farm museum next to the holiday home, with well-preserved farm tools, is always well visited. The still in original condition preserved grain mill or the first power station in the valley are gladly photographed by our guests.
One of the most famous cultural sights is the site Ötzi (the glacier ice man) was found at Hauslabjoch.
In the nearby village of Unser Frau an Ötzi museum, the Archeoparc, was built. There you will be introduced to Ötzi's life. In Unser Frau you will also find a pilgrimage church with a beautiful pilgrimage path.
The neighbouring village of Karthaus has an interesting story to tell, because monks lived there for a long time and today you can visit the remains of the monastery walls.
Traditionally, the sheep lift takes place in mid-June and the sheep drive takes place in mid-September.
