Discover Gail Valley | Culture

The valleys of Lesach, Gail and Weissensee preserve numerous historical testimonies linked to peasant work and popular religiosity. A special wooden construction art is dedicated to the centuries-old Lesachtal water mills. Water wheels, crested wheels and the entire grinding mechanism are still made by hand.

There are also businesses on beautiful Lake Weissensee that pay a lot of attention to the noble processing of wood. Boathouses, boats and extraordinary houses made of wood are built with a lot of craftsmanship combined with the most modern techniques of energy saving and living comfort.

Throughout the region, the culture of wood is present in every activity, bringing historical traditions to life without forgetting innovation and respect for the environment. An example is the craft of Fritz Klocker, who makes wooden boxes to store the famous Lesach Valley rye bread.
