"Pastor Müller and the white gold".
In the footsteps of ski pioneer Pastor Müller.
When Warth pastor, Johann Müller, read about skiing for the first time in in a newspaper in 1894, he thought to himself that this might be really quite helpful in the snow-abundant Tannberg region. He ordered some for himself and then was the first to ski across open terrain and through the deep snow from Warth to Lech - what a sensation! This was the beginning of ski sport in the region.
