ROSEGG – ROSENTAL VALLEY

A wonderful gravel route in the Gailtal Valley along the river Gail, south of the Dobratsch Mountain and the nature park.
Find less metres of elevation gain, but a charming, idyllic and extraordinary place at the western end of the route with a Artisan bakery and a lovely museum.

»BAKERY WIEGELE«
A wonderful artisan bakery that has been owned by the Wiegele family since 1876 and whose products are made according to old artisan traditions with local products and without baking powder or similar artificial additives. This includes, for example, the use of a 3-stage sourdough, which contributes to the good digestibility of the sourdough bread and also ensures a particularly good taste. The recipe for the long-lasting mountaineer’s bread was created especially for well-known extreme mountaineers for expeditions to the 8,000-metre peaks of the world.

MUSEUM »CIRCLE OF NÖTSCH«
The “Museum des Nötscher Kreises” is dedicated to the life and work of the artists of the “Nötscher Kreis” (Circle of Nötsch), who played a decisive role in shaping Austrian art at the beginning of the 20th century with their very individual paintings. This loose grouping of painter friends who were either born in this region – like Sebastian Isepp (1884-1954) and Franz Wiegele (1887-1944) – or moved to Nötsch from abroad – like Anton Kolig (1886-1950) and Anton Mahringer (1902-1974) represents an important artistic phenomenon within Austrian painting in the first half of the 20th century and had a decisive influence on the art of the interwar period in particular.
