ヴァルゾート周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

You should stop here; there are interesting views in all directions. Unfortunately, the wind is usually really bad here, so it's best to move on as quickly as possible!

For us it was a somewhat strenuous climb towards Reschen.

With a bit of luck, you can get a wonderful view from the dam wall, beyond St. Valentin and Lake Haider, to "King Ortler" in Vinschgau - South Tyrol's highest mountain. 🤩

The symbol of Val Venosta is this solitary bell tower. Very picturesque and romantic, the history of the bell tower, however, is not. The 14th century church was destroyed during the construction of the dam after World War II. The villages of Resia and Curon were abandoned by the government and at the end of the project the two villages found themselves submerged by water. All that remains is the bell tower, a reminder of the past.

In the fifties the construction of a large dam artificially joined the two lakes of Curon and Resia and the result was the submersion of the two homonymous inhabited centres. The bell tower of the Curon church still protrudes from the water and can be easily seen from this point.

Very nice landscape and great environment

The steeple of the former parish church of St. Catherine is reminiscent of the sunken village of Alt-Graun, which was destroyed due to the damming of the lake. The tower has been renovated and is now a popular landmark in Vinschgau. When the water level is very low, other ruins of the old village sometimes emerge from the lake besides the tower. Curious: The Italian Netflix series "Curion" tells a horror mystery story about Lake Reschen!

A fantastic landscape if you follow the bike path
