Nassfeld - Die historische Meile Nassfeld

The hike leads from the state border to the Watschiger Alm and back via the sulphur spring. The visitor gets to know botanical and geological features, but also dives into the long history of this area with the main focus on World War I. It is a way to reflect and should remind us how grateful we can be for a united Europe. The Nassfeldkirche - created during the war - became a symbol of international understanding and peaceful coexistence, at the same time an important mission for the future.

The Nassfeld formed an important regional building block on the way to a common, peace-keeping Europe. European history was indeed written here. Follow these traces. And tell others about it.
