Interesting to know:
Fauna and flora in Hintertux at 1,500 m above sea level, but also the inhabitants are continuously subject to the influence of the glacier. Under strict conditions, a very special mosaic of survival artists developed here; this concerns not only the animals and plants, but also the people who have lived here for centuries. In the course of a walk along the theme trail, thematic panels provide information about the various factors that govern life in this harsh landscape.
