Spend some time sitting in the shade
scottishvisitor Says: I loved the little Kirch Plaz a perfect place just to sit in quiet contemplation and just relax. It is not a people watching spot - we saw hardly anyone here in this sleepy sun dappled square, just some old people who stopped for a rest in the shade of the giant copper beech...
The Little Church with a big name
scottishvisitor Says: Die Pfarrkirche Zun Heiligen Kreuz translates into the Parish Church of the Holy Cross. The Church was first mentioned in 1398 several rebuilds followed - She was finally rebuilt and completed in 1772-1775 and concecrated by the Bishop Ferdinand Christof on the 20th. October...
The Little Canopies on the Chimney Pots
scottishvisitor Says: Looking at the roof tops here in Going and probably most other villages - I noticed little canopies covering the chimney pots. I did wonder at first what was their purpose and asked Kenny - well he didn't know but an elderly resident who had overheard us was happy to tell me...
Favorite thing: Shortly after you say to yourself "Herzlich Willkommen am Going" you might be saying "Auf Wiederschen Going" I had to laugh at the first comment on this page from Juliet when she made a reference to the residents being away! Seriously now, I loved this tiny place where the residents number 1,700 and the guests 2,600. Despite the figures we hardly saw any one. Going has one Supermarket and a few other necessary shops and a garage to repair your car and refuel it too. - Oh and surprisingly it does have a travel agency! They do have some small restaurants here too where you can be assured of a warm welcome. To sum up - Going is one of the prettiest little villages going with friendly locals who really do appreciate their charming village.
Fondest memory: I like living in my home village which is just slightly bigger than Going but this little gem is much prettier and has a lot of charm. One thing it does share is its open friendly people, if I come back to the Tirol I would hire a car to get about but would most definately pick Going as my home base.
