Sights in Gargazon

The landmark of Gargazon is the Kröll tower in the east, once the observation point for the defence of the territory. The tower was built in the 13th century; only the keep has been preserved until today. Below the tower, there is a hidden waterfall. Both, Kröll tower and the waterfall, can be reached via an easy hiking trail.

The Kurtial church, consecrated to St. John the Baptist of the 14th century is a real gem and a funeral chapel today. Around 1900, today’s Herz Jesu parish church was erected.

A highlight for amateur gardeners, nature lovers and families is a visit of Raffeiner Orchids. Here, you will see an extraordinary variety of orchids – a world of experiences unique in Europe.
