HUNTING

Animal hunting in the Alpine shoots is an unforgettable experience for each hunter or friend of the fascinating Alpine nature and fauna. For inactive hunters interested in history, culture, hunting and trophies there is a Ganghofer museum available introducing not only the work and life of Ludwig Ganghofer, but also the hunting tradition in the area of Leutasch. Ludwig Ganghofer (1855-1920), one of the most famous writers of his period, used to spend many weeks of the year in his hunting house “Hubertus” in the Leutasch valley. He also wrote one of his novels “Silence in the Forest” here. He treated several famous persons from the field of art and culture in his Leutasch hunting house such as Richard Strauss or Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Ludwig Ganghofer hired one of the largest shoots in the Northern Alps – Gaistaljagd for finance received for his novels.
