What an imposing sight! The ruins of Kronburg Castle tower over the steep rock. It was built in the 14th century.

Kath. Pfarrkirche hl. Barbara, Fließ On a plateau above the Inntal valley, on the western edge of Fließ, the new parish church rises. In 1794/1800-1804, the new building was constructed here in a dominant location, as the old parish church was no longer sufficient for the numerous faithful. Initially, like the old parish church, it was consecrated to the Assumption of Mary, but the new building soon received the patronage of the Barbara chapel previously erected here. The first mention of a Barbara chapel dates back to around 1300. Several occasions for the chapel are handed down over the course of the 14th century, including in 1352 from Avignon. From the 17th century onwards, the chapel served as a much-visited pilgrimage site, to whose popularity the folk play "Comedia Barbara", written in 1644 by the Fließ pastor Michael Raggl, also contributed, which was performed by lay actors west of the village. The chapel itself, surrounded by a cemetery, received new furnishings in the late 17th century, and a final building was consecrated in 1682. The new building as a parish church, which was consecrated on October 9, 1804, by the Brixen Prince-Bishop Karl Franz von Lodron, goes back to the plans of the then Fließ pastor Nikolaus Tolentin Schuler, who also contributed a considerable part of the financial resources for the construction. Only later, in 1817, was the facade tower on the valley side completed. In 1902-04 the church was renovated, and the exterior was restored in 1970-72.

It's cool and soothing here: The Wasseralb is located near the Wildbad spring and a small Kneipp facility. Ideal for wading barefoot through the water and recharging your batteries.

Unfortunately the cable car was closed to get to the ski hut. Some of us dared to climb up 1800m again. The rest took the bus service up to the Zamser ski hut.
