The region has much more to offer than it might appear at first glance. There are also many culturally and artistically enriching experiences to be had in this valley. If you are interested in old legends and stories, immerse yourself in the Montafoner Sagenfestspiele. During the Montafon theater hike “On the Run” you can experience an interactive journey into the past. But concerts of different genres can also be attended. Be inspired by the beauty, history and diversity.
The Montafon Festival of Legends in the Silbertal is worth seeing, above all because of the open-air stage, which is embedded in the middle of nature. 15 original buildings, from the barn to the church, as well as many natural elements were integrated to present the play as authentically as possible. It is worth mentioning that Montafon dialect words were included in the German-language performance. Incidentally, the dialect is a World Heritage Site, which makes the whole thing even more impressive. The legends are a true cultural asset that you should not miss. Immerse yourself in the world of the Alpine ancestors!

Ever heard of the “Night Folk of the Silver Valley” or “The Magic of Kuperlari”? If not, it’s time to get to know these old Montafon legends. On the Legends Trail you can combine the legends with a hike. There is no better place to experience these stories up close than in Silbertal, right where these stories were first created.
The hiking trail begins at the St. Agatha chapel on the Kristberg, where you can immerse yourself in the mystical atmosphere of the legends. On the way over the Kristbergsattel you will learn a lot about the Montafon coat of arms. The path continues to the Dalaas Forest, where there is a very special atmosphere. From the Kristbergsattel, via the Silberpfad towards Wildried, it goes to the Kneipp facility “Sieba Brünna”, here you can find out who or what is behind the night people. Arrived at Wildried, you can marvel at a unique alpine moor area, where you will get to know another legend. Further along the Burtschabach it goes past the Litzdamm. The Teufelsbach gives the next legend its name, because that is where the “Silbertaler Tüfili” lives. Now it is only less than 2 km past the Silbertal open-air theater until you arrive back in the village center of Silbertal.
