History, infrastructure and sights

Nockhöfe ( Franzisco-Josephinische Landesaufnahme , Journal 29-47 Innsbruck , 1900 - section): lower right center, Chapel

The Nockhöfe are probably named after the Nockspitze (today mostly Saile) - Nock is an old mountain name that stands for rock peaks here. They are already listed as a cam on the Anich maps from 1765 and 1774, the Atlas Tyrolensis , and have always been considered a separate district. Originally there were three farms here, above were the Siltenschmied and, towards the wide valley of the Mühlbach , the Inethöfe , which no longer exist today.

The farms were already popular as a place to relax in the 1840s because of their healing spring, and offered “moderate accommodation”, but a “healing bath in the mountain air and abundance of herbs” and a “refreshing view”. The listed Obere Nockhof Chapel also dates from the second half of the 19th century .

In 1953 the Muttereralmbahn was built via the Nockhöfe to the Mutterer Alm (new construction in 2006). Today the Untere Nockhof is still managed, the Obere Nockhof an alpine inn , the other houses are holiday homes.
