A bit of history

The history of the lake district in the upper part of Vinschgau around Lake Reschen and Lake Haider probably dates back to the end of the last Ice Age 7,000 years before. In the antiquity first and foremost the Romans were of prime importance. For instance, they continued an essential road construction – the so-called Via Claudia Augusta – through the Vinschgau and up to the mountain pass of Reschen.

In the Middle Ages, rather in 1140, there was founded the still existing hospice St. Voltn as place of refuge for hikers and travellers. If you are interested in history and culture, you should also stroll through the alleys of Dörfl-Munteplair, the oldest part of St. Valentin, which probably was settled already in Roman times.
