Sonnblick Observatory: The trade Ignaz Rojacher revived gold mining again in the 19th century. In 1886, under very difficult circumstances, he built the meteorological observatory on the Hohe Sonnblick as the world's first and highest meteorological observation station. The material ropeway to the Sonnblick to supply the weather station was completed in 1954. Until then, everything that was needed had to be carried from the valley to the summit.
