Where does the tour go?
We start at the Gröden railway monument and the sculpture of St. Barbara in Bahnhofstraße and head for the monument to Johann Baptist Purger, builder of the first road through the valley, near the village centre. From here, the way goes along Annabach stream to Haus Bugon, which was once the seat of a successful wooden toy company.
Crossing Panabrücke bridge, we arrive at Kirchplatz square with the parish church and Chapel to the Fallen. We carry on to Haus Pana, which lies at the heart of the medieval part of the village, and go past the Kulturhaus built for the Ski World Cup in 1970 in the pedestrian precinct. Stetteneckplatz square marks a further historical location in the village centre. This is the former site of Hof Ortiseit farm, which gave St. Ulrich its Ladin name.
