スタム周辺のおすすめファミリーハイキング＆ウォーキング

Locherboden is a fantastic place for hiking. Lush meadows stretch out around you, and the picturesque Inn Valley stretches below, while the peaks of the Mieminger Range rise proudly above.

Holy Blood Chapel, Stams Abbey The Holy Blood Chapel dates from 1715–1717. Designed by Georg Anton Gumpp, the existing Oswald Milser Chapel (named after the knight Oswald Milser, who died in Stams) from the early 14th century was replaced by a new building. Noteworthy features include the domed vault from 1716 (paintings by Joseph Schöpf 1800/01); the altarpiece, created by court carpenter Sigmund Zeller from Innsbruck according to plans by Georg Anton Gumpp; the altar figures by the woodcarver Andreas Kölle from Fendels; and the altarpiece by Matthias Pußjäger. The focal point of this chapel is the Holy Blood relic, which came to Stams from France in the 14th century. This is a small glass vessel with dark contents, kept in an elaborate monstrance. Every year on the first Sunday of May, a ceremonial procession with the relic takes place through the entire village.

History of the Cistercian Monastery of Stams The Cistercian Monastery of Stams was founded in 1272 by Count Meinhard II of Gorizia-Tyrol as a burial place for the Tyrolean princes in memory of the last Hohenstaufen dynasty, Conradin, and settled a year later. The monastery's Baroque and Rococo furnishings date from between 1650 and 1750. A monastery school has been documented since the 17th century. The monastery was dissolved in 1807 and re-established in 1816 under Emperor Francis I. In 1938, the foundation was dissolved again by the Nazi regime. A new beginning was made in 1945. Monks from the Cistercian monastery of Stična (Parakeet) in Slovenia made a significant contribution to the abbey's revival.

The History of Stams Abbey The first documented mention of "Stambs" dates back to 1065, when a document describes a fiefdom of the noble family of Wangen in the central Inn Valley, with a settlement and a much-visited pilgrimage church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. Stams Abbey was founded in 1273, when the founding convent, led by the first abbot, Heinrich von Honstetten, moved into Stams. Count Meinhard II of Gorizia-Tyrol had intended to establish a monastery here some time before, which would henceforth serve as the burial place of the Counts of Gorizia-Tyrol. The popular legend surrounding the founding of the monastery is now considered historically refuted, but it clearly demonstrates the connections of the Counts of Tyrol and their class consciousness: It states that the founding of the monastery was due to the gruesome death of the last Hohenstaufen, Conradin (beheaded in Naples in 1268). Conradin's mother, Elisabeth of Wittelsbach (d. 1273, her first marriage to the Hohenstaufen King Conrad IV), is said to have asked her husband, Count Meinhard II, to establish a memorial for her unfortunate son ("Mors Conradini – Vita Stamsii"). The mother monastery, the Cistercian monastery of Kaisheim (north of Donauwörth in Bavaria), was closed at the beginning of the 19th century as part of the secularization process.

A place with a lot of history. Visited by many who have worries…seeking hope

From the suspension bridge you follow the path further east. After a short distance you will pass a small hydroelectric power station and reach the Stams waterfall. Here the water flows from the Lehnbach before flowing into the Inn.
