In the past, the life of the inhabitants of the 
Ultental Valley was mostly determined by 
hard peasant work. As a result, the Ultental Valley inhabitants lived a 
simple and 
modest life. Much has remained until today from that time. This is even more so regarding the local history and traditions, which can be experienced firsthand in the valley even now.
This history can be seen in the 
museums and 
ancient churches, the 
Eschenlohe Castle and numerous 
traditional markets and 
festive events. But it is also apparent in the architecture and traditional way of building houses. Pay attention to the typical farm houses with their stone-shingled roofs.
