The Imster Bergl, also known as Kalvarienberg, is a prominent rock in the center of Imst that was formed about 26,000 years ago during the Ice Age. It served its inhabitants as a shelter, refuge, and home, telling stories of difficult times. Surrounded by the wild streams of Schinderbach and Malchbach, the Bergl uniquely combines history, culture, and nature. There are numerous distinctive places to discover on, around, and even within it.
Those who wish to climb the Bergl and reward themselves with a magnificent view of Imst should do so along the historical Stations of the Cross. This path leads to the Laurentiuskirche, one of the oldest churches in Tyrol, with origins dating back to the 5th century. Especially during Holy Week, this spiritual place is an important meeting point for religious processions and customs.
On the way towards Rosengartenschlucht, another highlight awaits you: the unique Bergl houses. They not only cling to the Bergl but extend even into its interior. This architectural style gives the neighborhood a distinctive charm that is unrivaled far beyond the borders of Tyrol.
On the other side of the Bergl, a narrow path runs alongside the Malchbach past rock-carved cave cellars to a massive entrance gate, behind which lies the Bergl cellar. Describing its interior is challenging due to the lovingly detailed and almost completely handcrafted furnishings. Today, the Bergl cellar serves as a unique event venue, accommodating up to 110 people. It is therefore ideal for family celebrations, corporate events, and even weddings. Interested parties should contact the Stadthotel Eggerbräu.
