At the cemetery wall around the picturesque parish church to the holy Ulrich 18 "Totentanzfresken" of the Vinschger artist Luis Stefan Stecher stand out.

The Parish Church of St. Ulrich is worth a detour. It was already mentioned in 1164. It burned to the ground in 1400. The massive Romanesque bell tower was preserved. According to tradition, the parish was founded by Charlemagne. The newly built, current Gothic church was inaugurated on November 4th, 1403. Worth seeing in the church are 2 baroque paintings by the well-known Vinschgau artist Simon Ybertracher (1694 - 1792

Hiking

I find the Totentanz frescoes on the church wall in Plaus always fascinating. "In 18 scenes, the well-known Vinschgau artist Luis Stefan Stecher has portrayed our constant companion to death." The expressions in dialect confront the viewer relentlessly with the omnipresent death. " (Excerpt from suedtirol-it.com/plaus). The paintings would be unthinkable on a Catholic cemetery wall in Germany - but I think they are always ingenious to look at.
