A largely unknown gem among cyclists, compared to the usual mountain passes. Unfortunately, it's not so well-known among motorcyclists, but it's very relaxed during the week in spring and autumn.

This brutalist church was built from 1965 to 1967 according to plans by architect Norbert Heltschl. The freestanding, sculptural bell tower is particularly striking. A drinking water fountain is located directly next to the tower.

Stams Abbey – a Baroque gem on the Inn Valley Cycle Path – is a magnificent Cistercian monastery in the Tyrolean Inn Valley, founded in 1273. It is particularly famous for its Baroque abbey church with twin towers, the richly decorated high altar, the princely crypt, and the atmospheric Bernardi Hall. Today, the abbey is not only a spiritual center, but also a place of education (with its own high school) and culture. Due to its location directly on the Inn Valley Cycle Path, the abbey is an excellent destination or stopover for cyclists. The tranquil abbey courtyard, the café in the abbey area, and the opportunity to take a guided tour offer cyclists a relaxing and culturally enriching break. The view of the surrounding Tyrolean mountains also makes the visit worthwhile.
