Tourbeschreibung

Legends and stories are an integral part of the life world of the Montafon people and have a high cultural value. Even today, there is a lively storytelling tradition here, which is actively maintained by the residents and continuously expanded with current content. Almost every prominent place in the valley has a story that is passed down from generation to generation. The path makes visible what function the stories have and which typical characters and settings repeatedly appear in them.
