Church in Galtuer
The parish and pilgrimage church “Maria Geburt” in Galtuer was consecrated in 1383 and has formed the centre of the community for more than six centuries. The church was a place of hope and solace especially in the difficult times before tourism began to flourish. Life in the high mountains was hard and demanded a lot from people. As a sign of gratitude for God’s help numerous chapels were built in and around Galtuer.
The trail of reflection that was opened in 2005 will lead you to these chapels. The most beautiful chapels in Galtuer are the “Rearkappali”, the “St. Antoniuskapelle” in the community of Wirl, the “Maiswald” chapel, the “Barbarakapelle” at the Bieler heights on the Silvretta High Alpine Road (Hochalpenstraße) and the “St. Martinskapelle” in Tschafein. Today the Galtuer citizens still preserve their churches and chapels like a treasure, and a little hike to the various chapels is definitely worth while.
