Oberau Wildschönau
In the centre of the Wildschönau at 936 metres lies the picturesque village of Oberau.
The village is dominated by the striking 250-year-old baroque church, often called the cathedral of the Tirolean Lowlands because of its size. Always in view is the Schatzberg, whose ski slopes entice you in winter and the hiking trails in summer.
