Hiking

This church is dedicated to Saint Joseph, the father of Jesus Christ. Like Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, he is a man on the threshold from the Old to the New Testament. Joseph came from the House of David, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was a carpenter by profession and the fiancé of the Blessed Mother Mary.
Saint Joseph's memorial day in the saints' calendar is March 19th, and the church also celebrates the feast of "Joseph the Worker" on May 1st.

The enchanting little St. Joseph's Church, which dates back to the 17th century, rises on the road from Kaltern to Tramin.
It was built in the 17th century and surrounded by low walls. It is consecrated to St. Joseph of Nazareth, who was founded by Pope Pius IX. was declared the patron saint of the Catholic Church in 1870. The hamlet, which is located directly on Lake Kaltern and represents the lowest point in the municipality of Kaltern, also owes its name to this church patron.
