Take a short break and enjoy a view of Sölden.

Not just for athletes and passport hunters, but also for history buffs. The crown of thorns is meant to symbolize the pain of the violent division of the historic state of Tyrol. "What friendship unites, politics cannot separate."

If you drive to the end of the asphalt parking lot, your Garmin's altitude reading will still be over 2800m.

At this point you should be aware that the gradient is constantly between 12-14% and only before the toll station is there a very short downhill passage (approx. 500m) where you can catch your breath.

Parish Church of St. John Nepomuk, Obergurgl In 1726, the inhabitants of Gurgl built their first church on the site of a small chapel and appointed a curate as their permanent pastor. Ten years later, the church was consecrated to the then canonized John Nepomuk. The patronal feast day is May 16th. In 1924, the church was renovated and enlarged according to plans by the architect Clemens Holzmeister. The present parish church still retains the old three-bay nave with round-arched windows and a barrel vault supported by stuccoed double pilasters. A wooden gallery spanned the first bay until 1998. A side chapel was added to the left of the gallery. The tower with its spire is also a remnant of the Baroque church. In 1930, Rudolf Margreiter painted the scene "Wenceslas with John Nepomuk." In the apex of the nave vault, he depicted John Nepomuk kneeling before the altar in Altbunzlau (Bohemia), and in the wide arched opening, Mary with the Child and John the Baptist appearing as intercessors. In the old building, the pulpit stands on the left side and is crowned with a group of putti holding a cross and the dove of the Holy Spirit. On the pulpit body, which is located in the round-arched niches between the pilasters supporting the surrounding entablature, are statuettes of Paul, Peter, and the Evangelist John from the 18th century. The Stations of the Cross date from the same period. In the side chapel, beneath a newly carved Rococo framed canopy, is a Pietà. In 1966, a new nave was added to the "old" church, again under the direction of Clemens Holzmeister. Paintings and sculptures from the old Baroque church were incorporated into the new building. The painting of John Nepomuk hangs on the right side altar, while the left side altar depicts the Sacrifice of the Lamb of God before the Crucified Christ and the Guardian Angel. The mountain scenery of Obergurgl can be seen in the background. The new section is dedicated to St. Paul. The Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul is celebrated on January 25th.
