Faschinajoch Pass (1,486 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Passo Faschina 1486 m
The Faschinajoch is a mountain pass in the Alps (Eastern Alps, Northern Limestone Alps) at 1486 m above sea level. It connects the valley of the Bregenzer Ach (Bregenzer Wald) near Damüls with the valley of the Lutz (Großes Walsertal) near Faschina.
The well-developed Faschina Straße (formerly Bundesstraße 193, now L 193) leads over the pass. The eastern part of the route is very popular with motorcyclists.
The Faschinajoch got its name from 'Fassia', which means 'a strip of meadow'. It was first mentioned in a document as 'Vaschin' in 1482. At that time, most of the pastures on the crossing were already in use; It is reported from later years that there was a house at the top of the pass, which was constantly occupied not only in summer but also in winter. A small chapel dedicated to Holy Mother Anna was also attached to this house.

Church of Thūringerberg

Highlight • Religious Site

Church, St. Apostle Andrew, Thüringerberg
The church was built in the years 1782 and 1783 due to lack of space, but the consecration did not take place until 1790. In 1786, Thüringerberg finally got its own pastor, and the curacy was elevated to an independent parish in 1835.
In 1864, the church received three new altars, which were replaced by a people's altar in 1960. The current altar has been in the church since 1990.
The first organ was in 1805, and a new one was bought in 1860. Since 1994, the parish church has had a new organ again, which was largely financed by six organ godmothers.
Since the church was too small from the very beginning, it was enlarged in 1894. In 1959/60, the church was extended again and also modernized. The last renovation took place in 1989/90.
