Discovery tour in the Maltatal: tell of the mysterious cultural heritage!

Maltatal, Österreich - An exciting literary project will be released on December 6th: Ulrike Zöù and Reinhard Kager present their new book about the Malta Valley, known as the "valley of the falling water". But the fascination of the Malta Valley goes far beyond its spectacular waterfalls. In the book entitled "Fascination Maltatal", stories, names and cultural assets from the region are illuminated, which often remain undetected. "The old story that is often forgotten is worth telling", the author told meinbezirk . The book combines place names research, legends and archaeological finds and shows impressive discoveries such as a spearhead from the Bronze Age and Roman coins.

The photographs of Reinhard Kager capture the untouched nature of the Malta Valley. He emphasizes the importance of photography as a kind of magical snapshot. "The youth loves home - that is the sentence that shapes our book," adds the photographer, who has held the splendor of the landscape in Carinthia for over 40 years. The first volume that appears on time at Christmas is available in local tourist offices and bookstores. A second volume will follow in the spring of 2025 and treat the written epochs from the Middle Ages to modern times.
