Ladis in Tirol
Peace & healing spring
Holidaymakers will find traditional charm and a magnificent landscape at 1.192 metres above sea level in the small village of Ladis. The mountain village is renowned and treasured for its healing acid and sulphur springs. Centuries-old farmhouses and the well-preserved village centre also shape the village’s character and attract numerous guests every year to the sun-drenched plateau.
A small village with a big heart
The small mountain village in Tirol has played an important role in the Alpine region for many centuries. Once it was the Romans who came here, using the village as a rest stop along the “Via Claudia Augusta”. Later, nobles and emperors followed – all of them fascinated by the healing springs. Today, it is above all families who spend their holidays on the sun plateau, appreciating the fantastic range of activities and the warm hospitality.
Whether it’s a holiday home for the whole family, a cosy bed and breakfast or a comfortable four-star hotel – in Ladis everyone finds accommodation to suit their taste. Modern infrastructure and unforgettable moments of indulgence in beautiful natural surroundings are, of course, included!
Kultur und Tradition in Ladis
Eine kleine Reise in die Vergangenheit rund um das charmante Bergdorf Ladis gefällig? Dann aufgepasst!
- Urnenfelder aus dem Jahr 1000 vor Christus lassen darauf schließen, dass Ladis zu dieser Zeit bereits besiedelt war.
- Jahrtausende später, 1212 nach Christus, entdeckte der Hirte Nikolaus Schederle in Obladis die Sauerbrunnquelle. Die heilenden Kräfte des Wassers brachten dem kleinen Bergdorf in Tirol später auch die ersten Touristen.
- Über 400 Jahre lang war in Ladis der Sitz des Hochgerichts Laudegg. Pfleger und Richter sind bis 1684 in der gleichnamigen Burg untergekommen. Bis heute thront sie erhaben über dem romantischen Schlossweiher. Bei einer Burgführung erfahren große und kleine Abenteurer die Geschichten hinter den beeindruckenden Mauern.
- Das rätoromanische Ortsbild von Ladis ist großteils erhalten: Bauernhäuser mit Freskenmalereien, Freitreppen, geschnitzten Giebelstreben und Backöfen. Einzelne Bauteile stammen sogar noch aus dem 8. nachchristlichen Jahrhundert.
Healing water & panoramic views
Sauerbrunn & sulphur springs
Healthy and invigorating – that is what the “Tiroler Sauerbrunn” water is said to be, springing from the traditional source in Obladis. At 1,386 metres above sea level, pure spring water has been bubbling here for centuries, rich in valuable minerals and trace elements. As early as the 16th century, the water was attributed with healing powers – and to this day it has proven itself as a natural remedy for enhancing wellbeing.
The state-recognised healing spring is particularly beneficial for the entire body. A drinking cure is especially recommended for ailments of the kidneys and liver, the gastrointestinal tract or the respiratory system. But even without specific complaints, Tiroler Sauerbrunn is considered a valuable aid for general regeneration, detoxification and strengthening the immune system.
Surrounded by pure mountain air and the unspoilt nature around Ladis, the effects of the spring can be experienced in an especially intense way. A visit to Obladis is not only beneficial to your health, it is also a journey into the history, nature and tranquillity of this special place.
Laudeck Castle
Laudeck Castle sits proudly on a striking rocky hill above the village of Ladis and is one of the region’s best-known landmarks. First documented in 1239, its history likely stretches back even further. For centuries it served as the seat of jurisdiction and an important administrative centre for the Upper Inn Valley. Particularly impressive is the well-preserved residential tower which, with its thick walls and small windows, still reflects medieval architecture today.
Laudeck Castle once formed part of a defensive system and occupied a strategically important position above the old Roman road. In summer it can be visited on guided tours, where you’ll hear fascinating tales from times gone by. From the castle, breathtaking views open up over the Inntal valley, the surrounding villages and the Tyrolean mountains. At sunset, the ancient walls appear almost mystical and mysterious. Even today, the remains of the ring wall and the tower bear witness to the former importance of this historic structure.
