Going am Wilden Kaiser

The village extends across five sub-districts at the base of the Kaiser mountains, providing access to numerous mountain trails and winter sports facilities.

First documented in 1160 as Gouwingen, the name originates from a Bajuvarian nobleman called Guowo, indicating Bavarian settlement roots in this alpine region.

The village church stands as an example of Tyrolean rococo architecture, featuring works by local artist Thomas Blieml and frescoes by Matthias Kirchner.

The Astbergbahn chairlift connects the village directly to the Ski Welt area, offering winter sports access from December through March.

Celtic miners extracted 12,000 kilograms of copper and 7,000 kilograms of silver annually from the local mines until operations ceased in 1773.
