Guggenbergerhof, Jenesien

Self-sufficient, sustainable, visionary: Verena and Erhard from the Spitalerhof farm in Vöran on the Tschögglberg mountain grow vegetables and run a small livestock farm to provide for themselves and their three children Mia, Lucy and Juri.

Four men for any eventuality: the maintainance crew

Between the peaks of Ifinger and Plattinger, at the foot of the Oswaldscharte (gap of S. Oswald), an inconspicuous church with a small tower stands at 1,185 m above sea level on a small flat alpine pasture. The building, which interestingly does not have any hiking trail leading directly past or to it, nevertheless experiences great crowds once a year. Every year on 5 August, the inhabitants of the communities of Hafling and Schenna make a pilgrimage to that small church Meran 2000 to ask Saint Oswald (in Hafling "Oaswold") for protection from storms.
