Ahornach ( Italian Acereto ; in the local Tyrolean dialect Fåchina emphasized first syllables ) is a fraction of the market town of Sand in Taufers in South Tyrol ( Italy ).
location
Ahornach is located at 1334 m northeast of the main town Sand in Taufers on the northern slopes of the Tauferer Tal . The local mountain of the place is the 3059 m high Große Moosstock . Due to the good wind conditions, Ahornach is often used by hang-gliders and paragliders as a starting point for a flight down to the Tauferer Tal.
history
Ahornach is first mentioned in the late 12th century (approx. 1197) as "Ahernach" in a traditional note from the Augustinian canons of Neustift near Brixen. The name is formed from ahd. Maple and the collective suffix -ach and means 'area with maple vegetation '. During the time of Italian fascism , the small community of Ahornach was merged with Sand in Taufers , Third Sand , Rein in Taufers , Kematen , Mühlen in Taufers , Mühlwald and Lappach to form the community of Campo Tures . Mühlwald and Lappach were later spun off as the municipality of Mühlwald. Today Ahornach is part of the municipality of Sand in Taufers.
For centuries, the place was only accessible by a footpath from St. Moritzen (Sand in Taufers). It was not until 1967 - after long delays and sometimes controversial planning - that a road connection was opened, which starts shortly after Toblhof and leads via the Untergasse district.
church
The church in Ahornach was built in the late Gothic style in 1512 by the stonemason Valentin Winkler from Palatinate and consecrated in 1519. The pointed red church tower was completed in 1558. The Ahornach parish church is consecrated to St. Anna , Mary's mother .
