The Lech Valley associates art and handicraft in a unique way.
Great technical ability, the sense of beautiful shapes and artistic expression are the assumptions to turn a raw piece of wood into a piece of art.
The Lech Valley folk understands it completely. Numerous Carving ateliers in the Valley are the living evidence that handicraft and art are not opposite, but represent an ideal symbiosis. The carvers of the Lech Valley create in their studios sacral objects, modern sculptures – party untreated, partly painted, sometimes even covered with gold plates. The carving fascination is huge and “seizes“ many visitors with its charme.
Those who feel like being creative should attend a carving course! Please ask at the Tourist Information Office in order to get further information about the courses and the programmes.
As you know, you don’t need to “buy a cow“ if you want a glass of milk! Therefore the Lech Valley artworks can also be purchased. They are in great demand and are considered to be art objects of high value. These Lech Valley “jewels“ are also a popular souvenir for your parents and friends at home.
