Image collection »Holzgau«
The scattered village of Holzgau is situated on the fan of the Höhen Torrent in the upper Lechtal. After Elbigenalp, Holzgau with its central market place is the second-oldest settlement in the valley. Holzgau became an independent parish in 1401. Holzgau's houses are decorated with outstanding frescos. Many people from Holzgau gained fame and a fortune as travelling salesmen, owners of shipping companies and with their businesses in Europe and America. When they returned back home, they decorated their homes lavishly. Some are built in a French style with attic roofs. Holzgau is a starting point for tours in the Lechtaler and Allgäuer Alps.
