Joseph Georg Oberkofler (*1889) had built up a reputation as poet, Johann Baptist (*1895) was known as priest painter. His are the frescoes in the cemetery arcades of St. Johann/S. Giovanni.

Weißenbach/Rio Bianco
From Luttach/Lutago passing a little side valley you reach Weißenbach/Rio Bianco that lies solitary in the basin. The church from the 16th century has a wonderful winged altar. The sledge run is a real highlight, but before you race down the slope you should stop off at one of the three alpine huts and reward yourself after the ascent with a traditional delicious dish (Pressknödel). In the summer the three health paths – the exercise, herb and Kneipp path – invite to leisurely hikes.
