location
The small village of Vernuer is located north above Riffian on the eastern slope of the Texel Group or on the orographic right , western side of the valley in Passeier . The church is at an altitude of around 1090 m , the highest courtyards even reach 1400 m . Although Vernuer only has around 34 inhabitants, it is divided into two settlements: Untervernuer and Obervernuer.

Attractions
The church of Vernuer with the wooden tower is dedicated to St. John of Nepomuk and was built in 1743. It has been a listed building since 1981.
