This area still boasts vast living territories for roe deer, red deer and chamois, while golden eagles nest in the walls of the Wetterstein mountain range. The Gaistal Valley was also one of the favourite places of the renowned poet Ludwig Ganghofer, whose hunting lodge was situated above the pastures of the Tillfußalm mountain hut. With his famous novel „Das Schweigen im Walde“, he paid a worthy tribute to the valley. He wrote many other works in his hunting lodge Hubertus, a place in which he liked to retreat, seek relaxation and indulge in his passion of hunting.
