The Isarco-Eisack Valley is the birthplace of the tradition of the Törggelen outings– hiking up to a farmhouse to enjoy grilled pork, roasted chestnuts, and just-fermented wine. This old tradition arose when the new wine was tasted by farmers and wine merchants between early October and early December. And at the Röck Estate Winery, this tradition has been right at home for a very long time. Along with the year’s new wine or also 750ml bottles from prior vintages, typical dishes and the farm’s own products are served. And no typical Törggelen evening at the Röck Estate Winery would draw to a close without a shot of schnapps or grappa. Konrad Augschöll discovered the passion and tradition of schnapps distilling many years ago, and he has made it a reality with an adventurous spirit.

The patrons of the Saubach parish church are St. Ingenuin and St. Albuin. The church was first mentioned in 1398. However, the choice of patrons concludes that the church is much older. Today this olt, gothic church is an attraction for many art lovers. It was built during the 15th Century. The consecration of the altars took place in 1502. When you go inside of the church on the porphyry portal with its pointed arch, you will immediately be impressed by the delicate rips of the net-like vault, the four custom-made windows and the three wing altars. In 1925, a fire did substantial damage the church, but with the help of donations from all around the country, the helmet-like tower and the roof could be renewed.

There are exclusively forged grave crosses and the front side of the grave crosses is averted from the burial grave.

The altar inside is a splendid carved work and displays the bishop saint Valentin. Frescos at the west façade, which depict mother Anne with Mary Baby Jesus, are valuable art property. The figures are petite with a soft and round arrangement of the folds.

The parish church of Barbian is consecrated to St. Jacobs the Elder and was first mentioned in 1378. The shapes of the windows of the leaning tower are evidence to an even earlier time. Its octagonal top was added during the 15th Century. During this time, the church was renovated and once more consecrated in 1472. In 1874, the nave was re-designed and received in a new-roman form. The vestry, which serves as choir stalls, is the only part left, to represent the old gothic buildings. On the inside of the church, on the main altar, there is a copy of the famous crucifixion group by Wechselburg, as well as 12 glass windows representing the apostles, a rosette window just above the main entrance and several wooden sculptures from the 16th and 17th Centuries.
