Lahnersäge National Park Center

The century-old Lahnersäge in Santa Gertrude/St.Gertraud, which until the 80s served as a sawmill to the local farmers in the valley of Val d'Ultimo/Ultental. Today the building is home to the new visitors’ center in the National Park. The old Venetian saw has been restored and is in full working order again.

The National Park exposition features movies, slideshows and fascinating recreations of historical events, painting a vivid picture of the historical significance that wood had for the inhabitants of the valley.
An entire room is dedicated to the “legend of the forest“, with the smell of pine trees, wood and green forests. Visitors will be enchanted by voices of bird and other local animals, and get a good idea of how the forests have changed in the last decades.
