Zedlacher Paradies

A nature trail under mighty larches

When the large expanse of larches, some of which are up to 500 years old, turns a golden yellow in the autumn, this is when the Zedlacher Paradise is at its most beautiful. But even in the spring and summertime, a walk through the “paradise” - and to the popular Wodenalm mountain pasture - lives up to this name. The nature trail Zedlacher Paradise above Matrei teaches the nature lover everything worth knowing about the forest and its creatures.

And under one or the other powerful larch you may fi nd
one of the over-dimensional cast iron animals by the Matreian artist Erich
Trost, created especially for this nature trail

 
 

The Church of St. Nicholas in Matrei East Tyrol

Cultural and Historic Treasure

The small church in the district Bichl near Matrei East Tyrol, with its rare
double choir and the famous Romanesque frescoes, is one of Austria’s and
the Alps’ most important sacral buildings. The frescoes in the choir tower
are a monument to alpine-Italian culture before the onset of the Gothic
period. The paintings in the lower choir (Adam & Eve – fall of mankind) are
by a local artist.

The highly symbolic fi gures and scenes in the upper choir
were created by a master from Padua under “infl uence of Venice” and a
“touch of the Orient”.

Pilgrimage Church Maria Schnee

Late Gothic architecture on historic ground

One of art history’s most interesting churches in East Tyrol is the pilgrimage church “Maria Schnee” in Obertauern, built 1456. The impressive frescoes from the late 15th century were painted by Simon von Taisten, the court painter of the Görzer counts. Due to a vow in the 17th century – when the plague was raging in the valley – the symbolic offering of a sacrifi cial ram is practiced to this very day.

The church is surrounded by an ancient, well kept court ensemble. A popular way of the cross with 15 expressive stations leads directly to the pilgrimage church.

Free cultural and historical tours:
early July to early September.

National Park Exhibition

The largest enclosed stone pine forest of the Eastern Alps

The National Park Hohe Tauern has been presenting the exhibit “Erlebnis
Zirbe” (“Pine Experience”) in the trade house in St. Jakob (an old listed miner’s
house in the center of town) for 16 years. This exhibit has now been completely
revised and expanded. The stone pine museum aims to encourage hands-on
discovery and to motivate its visitors to seek out the fascinating Oberhauser
Pine Forest in the National Park Hohe Tauern - the largest such forest in the
Eastern Alps – to experience it fi rst hand.

The very slow-growing pine trees can reach up to 1,000 years of age. Regional wood carvers almost exclusively use the soft stone pine wood for their handicraft. From stone pine cones fi ne spirits and liquors are produced.
