Located at the foot of
King Ortles, the
Church of the Three Holy Wells in Trafoi
tells a special story: In the 13th century, the shepherd Moritz saw
three little streams break from the rocks in the spot where the chapel
now stands. Each of the streams carried a cross. The shepherd was able
to grab two of them, but the third was washed away. When the little
church was erected in the 15th century, the site became a place of
pilgrimage – and the healing powers of the holy wells are still spoken
of today.
This peaceful pilgrimage site lies approximately three
kilometers from the village of Trafoi and is a worthwhile destination
for both summer and winter excursions.
