October 18, 2025, Wälderbähnle Steam Locomotive at the Station

Be sure to allow yourself a detour to the Wälderbähnle (forest railway). It's a fantastic historical experience.

Great view of the church. A visit to the beautiful church is also worthwhile.

You don't drive to Schröcken. You find yourself there again – as if after a long journey that wasn't planned, but necessary. The village lies there as if painted, and yet there is something unobtrusive, almost shy about it – as if it doesn't want to make a big deal, even though the surrounding mountains seem like backdrops from a dramatic play. The church with its slender, upright tower stands like an exclamation point in the landscape that no one has spoken aloud. It says: Here I am – and I'm staying. Behind it, wooden houses with shutters and geraniums crouch, like something from a childhood story you never quite outgrew. In front of it: grass swaying in the wind and a road that looks as if it's in no hurry. Schröcken doesn't mean: You have to experience something here. Schröcken means: You're welcome to be here. Hikers pass by, drifting along, between the Lechquellenrunde and Körbersee, between peaks with names like Mohnenspitze and Juppenkante. And when you return—perhaps after a long day on the ridge—the village is still there. Unruffled. Unadulterated.

Franz Michael Felder was born in this house on May 13, 1839. Franz Michael Felder grew up in the humblest of mountain farming circumstances, endured several blows of fate (including the loss of an eye due to medical malpractice), and left behind a rich body of work, considering his short life.
