In 2016, the Nassfeld Church and Nassfeldstraße turned 100 years old – a reason to commemorate the history of this area in a special way in the form of a historical mile.
The history of mankind is also one of weapons – they were used here already 9000 years ago – for hunting. This arc thus figuratively spans from the Stone Age to the 30.5 cm mortar in WWI.
The hike leads from the state border to the Watschiger Alm and back via the sulfur spring. Along the way, visitors learn about botanical and geological features, but also immerse themselves in the long history of this area with a focus on World War I. It is a path to reflection and aims to remind us how grateful we should be for a united Europe.
The Nassfeld Church – created during the war – became a symbol of international understanding and peaceful coexistence, as well as an important mission for the future. Nassfeld formed an important regional building block on the way to a common, peace-preserving Europe. European history was indeed written here. Follow these traces. And tell others about them.
