The castle above the mouth of the Paznaun in the Stanzer Valley dates back to the 13th century. Several of today’s structures result from a renovation at the beginning of the 20th century. In May 1945, parts of the German Wehrmacht surrendered to American troops after negotiations in this castle. [German]
I took this photo from a panorama coach of the Swiss Federal Railways. Shortly before, my train crossed the Trisanna Railway Bridge. This railway bridge attracted much attention in 1964. Within less than 11 hours, a construction team replaced the old bridge with a new one.
