Landschaftspark Binntal -
After the Viertel hamlet, continuing towards Hofstadt, the path leaves the road and goes through the Unnergries and Riedgraben gorges.
After crossing both gorges, the path continues on the forest road up to the Firsitten junction. Through romantic forests, it steeply ascends to a place called "Unnerbode." However, it is worth overcoming the climb to "Oberbode" and "Hohtutter," a remarkable viewpoint in the Grengiols community area. From here, a wonderful view opens up over Ausserbinn, the Twingi Gorge, and into the Binntal valley.
Subsequently, you descend back to the place called Riischpeggi and continue over the Riedgraben and Unnergraben gorges to the forest road. Along the forest road, we turn left and walk past the information board at Grossen Tanna towards Seng. From there, it goes steeply down to Bächerhäusern and back to Grengiols
In the hamlet of Bächerhäusern the Chapel of St. Mary is well worth a visit. It contains a famous picture of the Madonna of the Alps by Raphael Ritz.
The attractively situated hamlet of Hockmatta was first mentioned in 1393 and stands on a once-busy track from Grengiols to Albrun. The few residential and utility buildings encompass an square-like interior, and there is a chapel on its west edge.
St. James' chapel is dedicated to the patron saint of pilgrims, St. James the Elder and lies in what is called in common parlance "Uff dum Blatt" in the municipality of Grengiols on the way to the place of pilgrimage Heiligkreuz.
Die Konsumgenossenschaft Grengiols wurde am 21. August 1910 gegründet. Sie zählt heute 102 Mitglieder und beschäftigt 2 Teilzeitangestellte sowie einige Studenten.
