The Löffler bell in St Nicholas' Church, the second largest village church in Tyrol, is a special sight. The three-tonne bell with a diameter of 1.61 metres was cast in 1561 by Gregor Löffler and his sons.

To this day, it is rung as a weather bell when storms threaten - an old custom that is supposed to chase away the clouds.
