Tour description
The path offers, based on the geological peculiarity, a multifaceted view of the historic sites of the border region, which the inhabitants of Gargellen have revived. From the Vergaldner bridge, it goes through the forest among others to the impressive lime kiln, to beautiful views, and over maize pastures to Ronggalpe. Of course, the famous geological Gargellner Window can also be seen.
A CIRCULAR HIKING TRAIL WRITES HISTORY.
The Gargellner Windows are already known to many as a geological peculiarity, which appears as bright limestone rocks in the otherwise somewhat darker ancient rock massif. However, the newly initiated project "Gargellner Fenster" goes far beyond that. It primarily uses the Gargellen memory and brings many interesting events from the past to light again. This is intended to create a multifaceted view of all eras, making today’s Gargellen holistically experienceable through an exciting journey through time. At all historically relevant places, "windows" opening views and insights are planned, allowing a mysterious look behind the scenes of this enigmatic border region.
A WHOLE VILLAGE PITCHES IN.
As part of the "Bergdorf 2025" project and in preparation for the Gargellner Windows, community work on the village image has been ongoing since May 2018. In a large-scale clearing operation, trees fell like stubble and Gargellen regained the face that lightly and brightly recalls earlier times. Further community actions aimed at revitalizing and constructing the "Gargellner Window Path." Again, the whole village pitched in, and generations worked hand in hand to create something special together.
