Probably the most famous photo motif of Graun is that 1 Alt-Graun church tower that from the 6 km long Reschensee protrudes. This tower dates from the 14th century and belonged to the church of Old gray, it sank in 1950 when it was dammed in the water of Lake Reschen. At the same time, large areas of agricultural land sank and with it the livelihoods of the residents. Today's village of Graun was built at the entrance to the Langtaufer Valley, but many of the former residents were forced to leave their homes. The Reschensee receives its water from the Etsch, she has her 2 source in the vicinity of the 3 Reschenpass, it then flows through pipelines to the power plant Glurns.
