\u201eSchl\u00f6ssle\u201d is a sunny settlement that bears witness to the mountain blessing. \u201cSchl\u00f6ssle\u201d in the local dialect means, loosely translated, \u201ca small castle\u201d. Even though you won\u2019t find said upon your arrival, there is an Alpine meadow that carries the same name. Historically there seems to be a possible hint of a small castle that might once stood proud. Uphill towards west an area is called \u201cGruaba\u201d. It is assumed that the name goes back to the accommodation of the custodian of the \u201cSchl\u00f6ssle\u201d.

It is well known and documented that ore was mined in Lech. Emporer Maximilian I enfeoffed Ludwig von Nordholz with a mine on Tennenberg (now: Tannberg). A document dating back to 1515 is proof of it.

At 1660 Johannes Beiser lived at \u201cuf\u2019m Schloss\u201d (\u201cat the castle\u201d). This meant that there was a stately homestead to which the name was transferred to.

Up until the 20th century this homestead was one of the highest at 1.720m above sea level at the Tannberg. Surrounded by the luscious Alpine Meadows and a natural sun trap at the very top of Oberlech.

Our ancestor were Walser and so are we. Our family dates back hundreds of years and we proudly look back onto a long standing tradition \u201cuf\u2019m Schloss\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>
