Churches Between Late Baroque and Gothic

The parish church of St. Stephen in Niederdorf is a Late Baroque building dating from 1792 to 1796. Late Baroque refers to a late phase of the Baroque period. Next to the steps of the parish church of St. Stephen in Niederdorf stands a Gothic double chapel from the 15th century. Gothic is a historical stylistic period. The Church of St. Magdalene in Moos (Moos Church) was built in 1490 through a foundation established by Countess Paula of Gonzaga, the wife of Margrave Leonhard of Gorizia.

The museum site combines the historical development of tourism, railway construction and the beginnings of alpine sports as different subject areas.

Routes Around Niederdorf

A themed trail is a route with a particular thematic focus; the full title refers to balance, places of power and forest therapy.

Orienteering in the Village

An orienteering map can be requested from the Villabassa Tourist Information Office. The activity includes 28 control points throughout the village, from St. Magdalene Church to the spa park. A control point is a fixed station within an orienteering course. Possible starts are in the railway station area or at the eastern entrance to the spa park. Stamps can be collected at the control points. The orienteering map therefore specifies concrete points and possible starting locations for the activity.
