The wonderful city in Eisacktal has a good reputation as meeting point for artists. Apart from the monastery, it offers many other sights such as the beautiful Säben Monastery and obviously also lots of recommendable restaurants, where gourmets surely get their money’s worth.

Klausen has always attracted artists and poets and it has often been a motive for paintings, pictures, stories and songs. The picturesque city is situated between the rock of Säben and the course of the river Eisack. The townscape is characterized by beautiful and colourful facades, overtopped by Gothic churches.

Klausen’s capuchin monks

Legend has it, that in the former capuchin monastery once there was the mythical treasure of Loreto. Today, the monastery is open for the public, as well as the picture gallery and the modern gallery of the museum.

From the capuchin’s hill directly next to the monastery and its garden, you have a wonderful view to the city and the valley. All around, the wonderful landscape invites you to stroll, hike, marvel… and to stay. Old and winding paths lead to the castle Branzoll, to the Säben Monastery, to the nice villages Pardell, Verdings, Latzfons or Gufidaun, passing by rustic farms, lush and green meadows and dense forests
