Congratulations to the Hotel Oberwirt in Vöran

Erika and Elisabeth are mother and daughter. Together with their family they run the Eichernhof in Vöran. A beautiful farm a little below the village, surrounded by meadows and forests. With young cattle, chickens, fruit trees, bees, an old mill and a large garden where fresh vegetables, fruits and all kinds of herbs thrive. Almost everything that is served here is grown and produced by hand.

On the 1465 m high “Rotsteinkogel” in Vöran, 30 folding chairs made of stainless steel and chestnut wood offer an open-air cinema experience of a special kind. The millennium project "Knottnkino", created by Franz Messner in 2001, has been extended 2019 in a three-part sequel.

Exactly 100 years ago - in October 1923 - the Meran/Obermais - Hafling/St. Kathrein cable car was put into operation. In its 61 years of operation, it has achieved more than it seems at first glance. Although there is little to remind us of the installation today, the construction of this cable car was a pioneering technical achievement. Three quarters of all cable cars in the world today still use this principle, which was first applied here by engineer Luis Zuegg. For the village of Hafling, the new, fast connection to the valley brought an economic upswing and the initial spark for tourism.
