the hahntennjoch

The Hahntennjoch (or "Hahntennen") is a mountain pass located at 1894 m and connects the Inn Valley with the Lech Valley. In the summer months it is the fastest way from the Inntal to the Bschlabertal. In winter (until about May/June) the Hahntennjoch is basically closed due to avalanche danger.

In some places, the winding, partly narrow road has a gradient of almost 19%. It is repeatedly exposed to natural hazards such as rockfalls, mudslides and avalanches. Safety is ensured by an automated early warning system, which controls radio-controlled traffic lights that switch to red in the event of imminent danger, thus causing an immediate road closure.

pipe bridge large coarse

An architectural peculiarity can be found on the Bschlaber Landesstraße, coming from the Lechtal in the direction of Bschlabs. The "Große Gröben" is an 80 m long concrete pipe bridge enclosed between two tunnels in the slope. The background of the construction was to create an avalanche-proof connection from the Lech Valley to the Bschlab Valley, which is why the bridge is closed on all sides. From inside the tunnels, road users do not notice that they have just passed a bridge.

emigration and population

The Bschlabertal is one of the regions in Austria most affected by migration. While the municipality of Pfafflar still had 268 inhabitants in 1869, by 2021 it had only 105. Currently, the population is estimated at just under 100 inhabitants.

Just under 23% of the population is over 65 years old and almost 66% is between 20 and 64, of which a large proportion is over 50. The children and young people go to school in the neighboring Lechtal after the one-class elementary school was closed in 2014.

Most of the routes for everyday errands also lead residents to the Lech Valley; for example, the nearest supermarket is in the community of Elmen. There are restaurants in the village, but no stores.
