Voldertal via Volders with Rosenjoch

The Voldertal is a small side valley of the Tyrolean Inn Valley in the Tux Alps , a little east of Hall in Tyrol . It is also part of the municipalities of Volders and Tulfes in the Innsbruck-Land district .

Location and landscape

The valley takes its name from the village of Volders , from which it stretches about 13 kilometers in a southerly direction to the 2,479 meter high Naviser Joch in the Tux Alps . Its asymmetrical shape is characteristic of the valley. While gentle slopes rise to the Haneburger or Malgrübler on the right side of the valley , the left side of the low mountain range and Glungezer is mostly steep and ravaged. The right side belongs to the municipality of Volders, the left to Tulfes . The valley is traversed by the Voldertalbach, which flows into the Inn at Volders .

Neighboring valleys of Voldertals are in the East Watten , in the south the Navistal and to the west the Arz - and Viggartal .

Course and settlement

The Großvolderberg settlement can be found on the right-hand slopes in the front valley area .

The Auer homestead follows in the valley floor , then the former Bad Volderwildbad is located at 1104 meters above sea level . 3.5 kilometers further into the valley - in between are the Stiftsalm, Stiftsalmhochleger, Edenhaus-Aste / Nagelaste - a refuge for nature lovers , the Franz Pitscheider Haus (Voldertalhütte) , offers hikers and excursionists a base. This is followed by the Dörfl houses at around 1400 m. These settlements together form the scattered houses of the two communities.

The valley stretches far to the south until it branches into its source valleys at the Steinkaseralm (2002 m).

history

In 1492 the bell founders and brothers Urban and Hans Mölser are attested in Volderwald "zu Vollerwald near Hall im Intal"; they worked for the Marian parish church in Bolzano and cast the bell there for the evening bell. In the 16th and 17th centuries mining was carried out on a small scale near Volderwildbad . Silver , alum , vitriol , sulfur and spate iron were mined . The mineralization is found in the area of Innsbruck quartz phyllite, they formed during the sedimentation period in the old Paleozoic period.

From the time of the Napoleonic Wars it is reported that Josef Speckbacher , Andreas Hofer's comrade in arms, hid in the Volderstal (Alpe Stallsins, Alpe Largotz, and in the Speckbachergufl ) after the defeat in 1809 .

In 1964 a British airliner, the British Eagle flight 802/6 , crashed on the Voldertal side of the Glungezer . 83 people were killed.

Economy and Infrastructure

In addition to forestry, alpine farming continues to play an important role in the Voldertal and is operated on numerous alpine pastures, including the Vorbergalm , Steinkaseralm, Markissalm, Largozalm and Stiftsalm .

The Voldertal is also important as a local recreation area in the greater Innsbruck area.

The valley is also touched by the Glungezer ski area , which is particularly popular with locals and families.
In addition, the area is in winter a popular ski area , with the most common by far most of the light from the ski resort Glungezer achievable 2,677 meter high Glungezergipfel is climbed. Just below the summit is the Glungezerhütte of the Hall section of the Austrian Alpine Club .

The highest elevation in the Voldertal is the Rosenjoch in the southwest with a height of 2796 meters. The summit is often climbed in the course of crossing from the Glungezerhütte to the Lizumerhütte in the Wattentaler Lizum . The Rosenjoch is also popular from the Voldertal as a spring ski tour, but it requires safe conditions. Other well-known elevations in the frame of the Voldertal are Grünbergspitze , Malgrübler , Haneburger and Largoz . The latter is a popular panoramic mountain and is also called "Glotzen" by the locals.
