Highlights in Thomatal

The Josefshütte in Schönfeld was originally used as a barn to store fodder for the oxen used in ore mining. In 1984, Father Valentin Pfeifenberger celebrated a mass there for the first time. On the priest's 80th birthday in 1994, the hut was renovated and furnished with an altar, bells, and sacred artworks.

The hut burned down in 2007, but the local population collected donations to rebuild it. The Josefshütte has been re-edified since 2009 and now serves as an alpine church. It commemorates Father Valentin and his close connection to this special place.
