"Great is the power of memory that dwells in places." (from Cicero)

Ciablon twin farmhouses are subdivided in a clear and simple way, the living quarters are spacious and consist of two halves.

Ciablon

One of the highest lying farms on a sunny slope

Ciablon twin farmhouses lie at 1770 metres above sea level on the sunny slopes of Daunëi and form one of the highest lying farms in Gröden. The barn dates back to the 16th century, while the central section of the dwelling, divided in the direction of the roof ridge, even goes back to the 13th century. The eastern half is original with a barrel vaulted kitchen, open chimney flue and panelled parlours, while the western half has mostly been refurbished. Both halves stand empty, with the eastern half being under local council ownership.
