A small village with great charm

However, Plaus is not only known for its pleasantly peaceful atmosphere and proximity to Naturns and Meran. The village delights visitors with its well-kept appearance, traditional farms and a lovingly restored parish church, which is considered the cultural heart of the village.

Walkers and cyclists also appreciate its location directly on the Etschtal cycle path, while hiking enthusiasts can set off from here on scenic tours of the surrounding mountains. The mild climate ensures a long hiking and biking season – from early spring to late autumn.

Sights in Plaus

Among the sights of the village there is the wonderful old fountain in the centre beneath a giant, protected maple tree.

The modern, simple church dedicated to St. Monica was consecrated in 2017. It is accessed via a huge cross made of white marble. The historical church is dedicated to St. Ulrich, right next to it. With a Romanesque tower, the Gothic nave and the two Baroque paintings by artist Simon Ybertracher from Vinschgau are also worth a visit.

Another rarity worth-seeing is located directly in front of the churches near the cemetery wall: the Dance of Death of Plaus. Artist Luis Stefan Stecher has painted 18 impressive scenes on a length of 36 m. The scenes show figures of the pasts and present as well as celebrities of the region and are decorated with verses in the local dialect.
