There are places that tell stories even before you enter them. In the municipality of Stall in the Mölltal valley, such a place has been created – hidden in the annex of the Reichhold inn, yet open to anyone who wants to be enchanted.

Here, 3D artist Marion Ruthardt has created a mural that is not just meant to be looked at, but experienced. With every step into the courtyard, the wall seems to open up, and suddenly you enter another time: the world of mountain farmers who once laboriously cultivated the steep slopes, brought hay down to the valley and followed the rhythm of nature.

The scene comes to life – the meadows, the people, the water that pours down as a painted waterfall. A goat shed that looks so real you want to go inside invites visitors to become part of the artwork. One photo is enough – and the boundaries between reality and painting disappear.

But this work is more than an illusion. It is a monument to the life and work of those who shaped this landscape. It is a tribute to nature, which demands so much and at the same time gives so much. And it is a gift to the present – to all those who are willing to pause for a moment and allow themselves to be moved by art.

Thus, a place has been created in the municipality of Stall where history remains alive, where art connects people and where wonder becomes possible.

It is well worth a visit – let yourself be surprised by the power of painting and immerse yourself in a world where walls tell stories.
