Sights are Schloss Friedberg and Schloss Aschach and the church of Saint Charles Borromeo,[3] attached to a Servite convent.[4]
Next to the church at the entrance of the village lies the Volderer See,[5] a small lake which has shrunk significantly and now resembles a pond.[6] It has no natural inflow or outflow, and receives water primarily from rain, and also the groundwater of the Inn River. The water quality is moderate, varying between grades B and C, and is often plagued by algae.[6] There is a local legend that a giant blocked the inflow to the lake with a large boulder, causing it to shrink.[6][7]
