Hiking

The bell tower of Obermurach is a relic of the past, built towards the end of the 19th century. In addition to the bell function (e.g. in the event of fire, storms, etc.), bell towers also had the task of drying fire hoses. An iron flag spins on the slender turret, with the year 1922 - probably the year of construction of the current tower. The bell tower was partially renewed in 1993, the Ave bell was consecrated on March 5th, 1950, it was donated by the residents.
