Along the Bible trail you'll embark on a wonderful journey into the past. For example, you'll come across the largest spruce tree in Tirol, the Notburga Chapel, the Rottenburg Castle ruins and the Buch waterfall. In the Middle Ages, these places were centres for nobility and aristocrats as well as the economic hub and administrative centre of Tirol. In the 13th century, St. Notburga spent about 20 years as a maidservant with the Rottenburg Counts. In honour of St. Notburga, the Notburga path was created.
