The history of the forest chapel is interesting: the church, which is almost entirely made of wood, was built around 1917, as the parish church in Sesto was badly damaged during the First World War. For 14 days, the farmers and the priest at the time worked on the church from early in the morning until nightfall. The wood for this came from a hay barn that had been crushed by the snow. In 1917 and 1918, every church service was celebrated there and, especially during the fascist era, the forest chapel served as a hiding place to hold masses in German. Today, the chapel is also known as the Peace Chapel and was restored in 1974. In 1988, at the suggestion of the then parish priest Markus Küer and in collaboration with the Sesto woodcarver Georg Lanzinger, a path of reflection was laid out to the chapel. Near the chapel there are cup stones, which are among the oldest traces of settlement in Sesto and are also the last of the biblical stations along the path of reflection.

A beautiful hiking trip near Luttach/Lutago and around the mysterious Schwarzbachklamm is the round trip to the waterfalls. Starting from the sculpture and water park, the route follows the
easy hiking trail no. 23 signposted “Wasserfall-Runde” (circular route to the waterfalls), which inclines slightly uphill. The trail leads past a former Waal irrigation channel, which was once used for irrigation. At the next crossroads, the route crosses over a small bridge on the left and then continues through the Schwarzbach Gorge until the hikers finally find themselves standing in front of the magnificent Schwarzbach waterfall.
The return route first follows the same path until the first junction. The trail now climbs up to the left and leads to the intersection with the Brunnberg road. Here the route turns left again and then follows this road to the first bend where it continues straight ahead along the gravel path. Passing by the Schwarzbach stream, the trail now heads downhill, until, after a short time both the 2nd Schwarzbach waterfall and the 1st fall can be seen from only a short distance until finally the starting point is reached again.

Tourism is one of the most important sectors of the economy of the valley. Its history is closely linked to the flourishing of alpinism. For this reason, alpinism and tourism trails are interacted, both kinds of trails will result in a worthwhile day trip. The development of tourism was strongly influenced by Dr. Josef Daimer (1845-1909), the community of Sand in Taufer’s physician. He was co-founder of the village’s Improvement Society and saw to it that mountain trails and shelters were built. Another milestone was the art of healing by Dr. Anton Mutschlechner, who attracted many guests from all over the world to the area thus developing tourism and eventually leading to the construction of the lifts on Speikboden, which enhanced the development of winter tourism. Numerous infrastructures followed suit, the newest of which is the indoor and outdoor pools at the Cascade with its saunas and wonderful landscaped setting. The trail gives us insight into the development of tourism in the valley from the past to the present days with display boards and symbols along the way. Trail conditions : forest roads and paths. Difficulty: medium, walkable from spring to late autumn.
