Tips

Zillertal Tourismus

May 25, 2021

The beautiful side valley not only offers an impressive landscape, but has also produced an extraordinary woman: Elisabeth Lackner, the only poacher in the Zillertal, also known as the "Floitenschlagstaude".

At the beginning of the 19th century she lived on Floitenschlag, an inhospitable and steep slope in the back valley. Growing up in poor conditions, she learned poaching from her father as a child. After the early death of her husband, she was only able to get through her 9 children as a game shooter, after all she was better at handling the shotgun than using the wooden spoon: She is said to have been able to shoot a chamois from the window bar. But not only her hunting skills made her legendary, she was also known for her beauty and cunning and ingenuity towards the game warden. Despite this, she was often caught and put on trial, but as a beautiful, tall woman (hence the nickname "perennial" = tall plant), she was apparently granted a few sentences.
Wilhelm E. Hofer has compiled the true story of the poacher in his book "Floitenschlagstaude" - written in an exciting and thrilling way!

The Floitenschlag, Elisabeth's hut, is still preserved today.
