Attractions and Places To See in Gogleswald - Top 20

Interesting biotope, well maintained

Make sure you're allowed to enter the moor! In winter, it's a wildlife sanctuary :)

Particularly recommended in foggy "bad" weather because of the moor atmosphere. The lovingly laid out wooden paths are still safe to walk on.

It is a successful unity of architecture and nature and a strong symbol of the realization of a shared vision: On August 19, 2007, Tyrol's first nature park house was opened. Here, the nature park is to be accessible and approachable. An extensive network of paths for exploring the natural diversity makes this possible. Whether with local specialties on the sun terrace of the local restaurant or on a tour of the multimedia exhibition "3000 m VERTIKAL", the nature park house combines relaxation and increased knowledge. As a popular year-round excursion destination with a "front row seat to nature", the nature park house and its surroundings on the Piller Sattel offer development opportunities for all age groups.

Right next to the bridge there is a sculpture of the Tyrolean eagle. Next to it is an information board telling about the Tyrolean War of Independence.

The Piller Moor in the Kaunergrat Nature Park is one of the most beautiful raised moors in Central Europe. Since 2015, large parts of the moor nature trail have also been barrier-free accessible and the moor nature trail has been completely revised! In order to bring the wonderful world of the moors closer to the nature park visitors, an educational trail with display boards was built on Piller Moor. An 11 m high moor tower also provides a view over the millennia-old raised moor.

The bridge was built in 1899 by R.PH. Waagner from Vienna built. Maximum load 12000 kg

A Bronze Age-Iron Age burnt offering place on the Piller Saddle. More than 3 1/2 thousand years ago, animals were sacrificed to the gods here. Next to the square is a procession of a community leading an ox to the sacrificial altar. Priests slaughtered the sacrificial animals and a great feast was held. The remains were burned and dumped in the square. The sacrificial place grew over time to a considerable mound. It can be assumed that several animals were sacrificed per year. Donations in kind such as jewelery and coins were also sacrificed. The duration of this cult place goes back from the Middle Bronze Age to Roman times. The tradition died out with Christianization. There are numerous burnt offering sites in the Alps that were used by several communities nationwide. The hoard find at Moosbruck-Schrofen should also be considered in line with this. Here numerous bronze objects such as weapons, tools, pieces of jewelery and a helmet were first intentionally destroyed, i.e. made unusable, in order to withdraw them from earthly purposes and then to sacrifice them to the deities. The site was not chosen by chance, as it is located exactly on the important transition from the Pitztal to the Inntal, i.e. an important long-distance route from north to south, on the Piller saddle. In 2001, this hoard of over 350 objects was found in a rock crevice. It can be seen in the Archaeological Museum in Fliess. The museum also offers another sensational Iron Age hoard find that can be found in Fliess found during construction work. You can also visit the remains of a Rhaetian house. So a visit to the museum is highly recommended. The opening times are from May 1st to October 31st from Tue - Sun between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Caution Monday is a rest day.
