The village is located high above the Adige Valley at around 1,330 m above sea level, around six kilometers northeast and over 1,000 meters above Salurn.

Surname

The place name is first documented in 1298 as Gaueril and subsequently in 1340 as if Cafril and can be traced back to the Latin name caprile for "sheepfold", which suggests that the area was used for livestock and grazing from the late Middle Ages.

history

The hilltop settlement in the wooded area east above the valley floor of Salurn evidently emerged during the inland colonization of the 13th century. From the beginning it belonged to the district court of Salurn, which Count Meinhard II of Tyrol-Görz had established on the southern border of the County of Tyrol in the transition area to the Hochstift Trento . According to the wisdom of the Salurn court of 1403, the Gfriller farmers ( "the Cafriller" ) had to pay wood taxes to the Salurn cellar office . The same wisdom also mentions a number of farms , some of which have since been abandoned, such as Röll (Unterstein), Kerschbaum, Erlach / Erler, Gagers, Lochrach, Stauder / Staudach, Bruggneid, Flatsch and Leiter bei Haberla.

Attractions

The Gothic church of St. Margareth from the 13th century (first mentioned in 1267), which was renovated around 1500 with a late Gothic reticulated vault , as well as the small church Maria Visitation in the meadow , located a little outside the village , which was built in 1680 by the Salurn family Feigenputz, are worth seeing was built by Griessegg; both are under monument protection .
