Pfafflar is a place in Ausserfern in Tyrol and belongs to the municipality of Pfafflar in the Reutte district . Pfafflar is no longer permanently settled today.

geography

The Rotte is located about 25 kilometers southwest of Reutte and 10 kilometers northwest of Imst . It is located in the Pfafflartal , a Hintertal of the Bschlabertal , on the Hahntennjoch , where the L266  Bschlaber Straße - after the pass L72  Hahntennjochstraße - connects the Lech Valley with Imst in the Inn Valley . It is about 3 km as the crow flies to the top of the pass.

The place is divided into three parts on the road and the southern slopes above. Pfafflar itself (around  1550  m above sea level ) can be reached shortly after the last hairpin bends via a supply road, 500 m further on is on the Hag road  (Kote  1619  m above sea level ), and here the path goes to Ebele (around  1620  m above sea level ).

History, sights and infrastructure

The first permanent settlers were refugees from the Engadine who were persecuted for their beliefs. They received permission from Count Starkenberg from Imst to colonize the valley. The Swiss moved their cattle over the Hahntennjoch and settled in Pfafflar around 1280. According to records there in 1284 four were Schwaighöfe , the place was Pavelaers called the Romansh word from pabulariu derived and feed censure means.
From here the Bschlabertal was settled, where Romanesque place names are also at home ( e.g. Bschlabs: Bislafes from pos l'aves 'behind the waters', that is soil). Until 1938 the place also belonged to the Imst district .

The place was always off the beaten track, from Bschlabs the route led via Plötzigbach and Steinjöchl  ( 2198  m above sea level ) into Maldon and to Imst - apparently the higher pass was to be preferred to the impassable rear Blenscheertal.

In 1894 the district of Pfafflar was finally abandoned as a permanent settlement, and the mountain farmers moved into the ground 250 m lower. However, Pfafflar was still used as an alpine village (Maiensäss Alemannic style), where the farmers stayed from spring to late autumn.

The road over the Hanntennjoch was not built until the end of the 1960s (approved in 1969) and is closed in winter. After that there was a brief boom in tourism, but it soon ebbed.
Today the houses are mostly only occupied by holiday guests in summer.

14 wooden houses have been preserved from the time of permanent settlement, making the village the oldest almost preserved hilltop settlement in Tyrol. They are dated around the 16th century. The Almenensemble Ebele is a listed building . In recent years the houses have also been popular as film locations, as a backdrop for historical mountain and modern Heimat films.

The Northern Alpine Trail (long-distance hiking trail 01, here Lechtaler Höhenweg ) runs along the valley, Anhalter Hütte - Hanntennjoch - Boden - Hanauer Hütte . To the south you can get to the Fundoastal and the Fundoasalpe (at the Schlenkerspitze ) over the bucket walls to the Muttekopf  ( 2774  m above sea level ) and the Muttekopfscharte into the Inn Valley near Mils , or the Galtseitejoch  ( 2421  m above sea level ) also to the Hanauer Hütte .
