    Tips

    May 6, 2024

    When Lake Reschen was artificially created, many buildings fell victim to the floods. In the summer of 1950, the village of Graun and parts of Reschen, as well as the ancient hamlets of Arlung, Piz, Gorf and Stockerhöfe, were flooded to generate electricity. In total, 677 hectares of land were affected: the residents and farm owners were expropriated and forced to evict or relocate. Only the little church of Alt-Graun from the 14th century defied this dark chapter of South Tyrolean history. Its listed church tower still rises out of the floods today and is more or less visible depending on the water level.

      A multilingual information point at the church tower. Very interesting.
