Feuerstein chapel - a very idyllic place

Highlight • Religious Site

For people who want to remain true to their faith in God in this beautiful environment and perhaps want to light a few prayers or candles for their families and friends, there is a beautiful new chapel at Feuerstein with a very modern cross shining in red and a glass front.
However, there is an altitude difference of around 300 meters to climb from Huben to get there. The walk is worth it not only because of the church but also because of the good food in Haus Feuerstein and the spectacular view from the viewing platform.

Parish Church of St. Martin, Huben

Highlight • Religious Site

Parish Church of St. Martin in Huben
Even in ancient times, a small church in honor of the Sorrowful Mother stood "on the Hube"; this church was swept away and destroyed by the terrible flood of 1678. The following year, a new, larger church was built on the same site and consecrated on September 17, 1698, by Prince-Bishop Johann Franz Graf von Khuen.
In 1805, this church was demolished except for the presbytery because it was deemed too small for the population of the Huben pastoral congregation, and the present church was rebuilt. The tower collapsed during the great flood of 1868; it was rebuilt in 1870.
The high altarpiece, which depicts the offering of St. Martin's cloak, is still preserved. The fresco depicting St. Martin was created by Theres Strigl of Sautens, while the images on the side altars (Sacred Heart and Sacred Heart of Mary) were created by J. Stecher of Ötz. Vault frescoes (St. Martin, the Four Evangelists, Lamentation of Christ, and St. Cassian as Intercessor) were painted by Josef Wanner of Inzing. The statues of St. Cassian and John Nepomuk were carved by Josef Schatz, also from Inzing. The high altarpiece depicting the donation of St. Martin's cloak was created by Theres Strigl of Sautens, while the images on the side altars (Sacred Heart and Sacred Heart of Mary) were created by J. Stecher of Ötz. Vault frescoes (St. Martin, the Four Evangelists,
The Widum was built in 1804 at the expense of the local pastoral community and expanded in 1866. The former local chaplain, Father Anton Wilhelm, who rendered great services to Huben, died in 1884.
From "Parish Courts as Inns in Tyrol" by Franz Grass
According to existing records, in the years around 1830, the then local chaplain of Huben kept bottles of wine in his cellar to occasionally refresh the vitality of poor, sick, and elderly people with a good tipple. He was sued for unauthorized serving, but this only resulted in the formal establishment of an inn. Huben's ruling circles believed that order was best maintained in the Widum and that travelers could be best fed, and so the inn was permanently associated with it.

Längenfeld

Highlight • Settlement

Here, nature creates a true fairytale landscape! In the middle of the Ötztal, a seemingly endless valley plain awaits you in Längenfeld at an altitude of 1,180 meters. A lush green stretches out before you for 20 kilometers, which you can always see from the town.

Längenfeld is a biker's paradise. On the valley floor, the glaciers once created the perfect conditions for almost flat bike tours. All around, however, there are alpine tours. There is something for every taste! And when you get back, you can relax in the thermal baths (with the best view, of course).

By the way:
Throughout the Ötztal, it is possible to switch to or upgrade to the latest e-bikes: With electrical support, every biker can reach their personal destination. The Ötztal sports retailers offer e-bikes for rent so that you can enjoy nature almost silently. The participating companies use the same models and technical standards: leisure cyclists can easily replace or charge their batteries at all e-bike stations from Oetz to Obergurgl.
