 globetrott Says:  Stanglwirt is just 1 km from Ellmau !Stanglwirt is one of the best-known hotel & restaurant of the area around Ellmau and Going and it is also a great excursion from Ellmau. Stanglwirt is also a farm that you can visit, they have horses and a ridinghall and a lot... 

 globetrott Says:  This is another fountain, right in the centre of Ellmau and next to Gasthof Hochfilzner that is a sight by itself with some great details around of the windows and an interesting guild-sign over the entrancedoor ( my 4th and 5th photos).Also pretty close to this fountain is... 

 globetrott Says:  This is one of the three lovely fountains that I saw in Ellmau and you should know that the water from these wells is drinkable, as it comes directely from the well: fresh, natural mountain-water and a lot more healthy than any expensive mineral water that was bottled some... 

 globetrott Says:  Take a look around in the very centre of Ellmau und you will see various very good examples of the typical tyrolean farmhouse-architecture. Most of these farmhouses will have that typical small belfry, and the bell was used in order to call everybody for the meals or in... 

 globetrott Says:  The roman catholic Erzengel Michael Pfarrkirche (archangel Michael parishchurch) dates back to the year 1740 and it has a really great baroque interior. You can visit the church-interior any time of the day freely and without restrictions, but in case that you wish to have a... 

 globetrott Says:  Mariä-Heimsuchungs Kapelle is the name of the small chapel that you will see slightly uphill from the village of Ellmau. This lovely chapel dates back to the year 1719 and unfortunately it is locked most of the time, so I had no chance to get in. It will take about 15... 

 globetrott Says:  The village of Ellmau is one of the typical, small villages in the Tirolean Alps, with some interesting traditional farmhouses, an interesting church, that is well worth having a look inside and a great view of the mountains that are surrounding the area.

 globetrott Says:  Ellmi's Zauberwelt is a phantastic playground for your children right at the upper station of the funicular. No entrancefee to be payed and no time restrictions apply to these attractions and I think it is good for children to have such a playground once in a while instead...
